Africa - The Bat Cave

Between a morning hike through the Kyambura Gorge with an Australian couple and local forest ranger (guide) we stopped off at the Bat Cave on our way for lunch at Jacana Lodge.

just to let you know, it is VERY DANGEROUS to go inside any bat caves in Africa. A dutch tourist has done this and got infected with the Marburg virus, a virus very similar to Ebola. This deadly virus is spread by batts. So watch out. This tourist died this morning in a hospital in the city of leiden in Holland

yes, I read of this. Were I to visit uganda again, I would probably still go though, it was outstanding. Maybe I would wear a mask though?

However, given the circumstance I would no longer recommend this tour.

I would love to visit that place, i received my handlers license last year but all we have to observe here is Pipistrelle and a few other smaller species.

For seeing primates and birds there is no better place in the world than Uganda. The people were also excellent. I highly recommend hiring a full-time car and driver though. We did the trip on about $150 a day, with about $120 of it being the car and driver.

I would love to go there someday. It seems so exciting and exotic. And also something noone in my family has ever done. And I will most likely not be able to either. Funny how that always seems to work out. Even if you don't want it to.
