Uganda

[Uuaww]

I am heading on a safari/gorilla tracking trip to Uganda in May. Jealous of Riccio's trip and had to do one of my own.

on living social today there was a mt kiliminjaro 10 day hike with airfare food and lodging for 3300 per person.

A 5 day climb?! They say you need 7 minimum usually. That would be eff'ing brutal for altitude sickness. Also I don't like how they don't tell you who the tour operator is so its tough to say if they are a good company or not. Not something I want to go in on blind.

We will climb Kili some day Dave, but it will take a few months of research on my part to find the best deal. I took a solid 6 weeks to research and book Uganda.

the entire trip is 10 days. The climb is only 5

I guess I am just uncultured. Nick said it best to me over IM a few days ago, "Earth is the only inhabitable planet yet I don't want to go to 98% of it."

Watch your step out there. One false step and you may find yourself pulling a boot out of one of Idi Amin's mass graves.

Didn't some producers from The Great Race just get murdered there?

[Hoos]

[DRiccio21]

The Ugandan Giant Kamala!

the WWF just can't possibly ever match that time.

Yes. They got some very bad cocaine.

I could not agree more. It was awesome back then!

[ReignOnU]

Just saw the thread and was going to post a pic as well... Kamala put Uganda on the map!

[DRiccio21]

best part is how hooked you got on guys like that.

like when i was old enough to realize that Kamala was actually just some random black american guy, a little piece of me died inside. i wanted to believe he was really someone that his manager Kim Chee found while on a safari in Uganda.

Agree 100%



Though we may just be falling victim to the thinking that "Everything was better back in our day".

Personally, I think it is because we were younger, naive and everything was more fun when you were a child.

As dave posted about realizing that Kamala was just a normal black guy in makeup, a part of him died...I felt that same way about George "The Animal" Steele.
Once I found out he was a teacher and a regular guy, it lost it's appeal to me. I still watched, but it wasn't the same from that point forward for me.
