Off to Kibale

Making all my final preparations to leave for Kibale tomorrow morning. I should arrive at Kanyanchu by late afternoon or early evening. I'm enjoying my stay at The Boma in Entebbe. Check it out: http://www.boma.co.ug/

Nanyuki -> Nairobi -> Kampala

The next few days are all about travel. Our time at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy has been great! Here are some photos:

Made it to Ol Pejeta

We made it to Ol Pejeta Conservancy late yesterday afternoon. Today we've had a drive around and met with our collaborators here. Back to Nairobi Friday morning.

Highlights:
Silver backed jackals
elephants
spoonbilled stork
warthogs
chimpanzee sanctuary

Having fun in Kenya

I am headed out to Sweetwaters sanctuary next week after the long holiday weekend. In the mean time, I'm waiting in Nairobi. I've had a chance to visit some interesting places: the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, the Giraffe Center and the Blixen Museum. Today we also took a drive through the biggest slum in Nairobi: Kibera. Quite a contrast with the neighboorhood where we are staying (Karen...after the one and only Karen Blixen).

Looking forward to getting back in the research groove. In the mean time, here are some photos from recent days:
