Murchison National Park

When we enter the park, at the gate, we see a lot of people, we see a lot cars.  It seems it is going to be very busy.  As Patrick Kato is a guide himself, we don't need to wait for a ranger/guide, so we drive into the park.

Murchison is Savanah, really impressive, and especially when you meet soon family giraffe.  Beautiful!  So elegant!



Soon, we see no cars anymore.  We thought it would be busy, but it is buys with animals.  There are the eliphants!


In this National Park the animals give the impression they are used to cars.  Especially the antilopes, they don't run away, on the contrary, they stop so you can take good pictures.



Today it is warm and dry, but you can see nature is green, and once and while there is a opportunity to take a mud-bath.


If you prefer clean water, you can go for a Nile-cruise, to see the hippo's and crocodiles, Patrick Kato can arrange this for you.


If you want to go up to the Waterfalls, Patrick Kato can arrange that also for you.



By the way, Patrick Kato is a very good camara-man!

You want to go for a swim, although he is still learning to swim, he will arrange it for you.




 You want to go to eat a Tilapia, he will arrange it for you.


Arnout & Simon had a really good time together with Patrick Kato, and they came with the idea to call him KATO TOURS.  So, from this day, we will use this name, thank you Arnout & Simon!

A very clear Mount Sabinyo

During dry season, you should expect no rain and sunshine, but then often because of condensation, you don't have a clear view.

During rain season, you can expect a clear view, but also rain and coldness.

Arnout and Simon were very lucky; they had a view,  they had sunshine, and they had no rain, so no slippery ladders.





Together with Nestor on one of the Peaks of Sabinyo.

Katonga Wildlife Reserve - The Sitatunga

On the road from Kampala to Fort Portal, in the Katonga river valley, you find the Katonga Wildlife Reserve.  Here you can approach the animals on foot.  Waterbuck, reedbuck and bushbuck are common.  But you should come here for the sitatunga antelope. You walk through a mixture of grassland and wetland habitats, where you get the chance of spotting this elusive antilope.
