Much of the day was used just for the transfer, with only few birding opportunities along the way. We did, however, spend a bit less than an hour trying to get the air conditioning fixed at Kabale, the first larger town we got to. The belt to the air conditioner had snapped two days earlier. Fortunately, that was not a critical incident out in the "boondocks". It turned out that there was another problem with that air condition, so they were unable to fix it. As the time spent for this repair-attempt was not longer, we actually had the chance to get a more profound impression of such a Ugandan local country center. So the break was actually quite welcome. Along the way, Deo stopped at a small place where he knew they were selling local organically produced eggs. These are then sold along the roadside, well packed in special wrapping, forty at a time.The night game drive provided - among others - the hoped-for Leopard, very nicely "draped" on a look-out rock. But we also got to see a beautiful Common Genet which pleased us even more as it was a "lifer" species for us.</blockquote>
