Description
In episode 8, we're back on the edge of Kibale National Park, stretching our legs after a long road journey from Kampala, Uganda's capital. The air is alive with song as the birds catch the last rays of afternoon sunshine after a day of heavy rain. Join me for a duet with the rare white-spotted flufftail and find out: What friends and colleagues are saying about the first episodes of the East Africa Travel Podcast? What's been happening in my wooden house while I've been away? And, more to the point, who (or what) is eating my house?
