Listen now
Description
In episode 10, we have 150 square kilometres of unspoilt wilderness to ourselves as we venture on safari in Kyambura Game Reserve, Queen Elizabeth Conservation Area, western Uganda. The night is alive with the sounds of the wild, from the hippos munching next to my tent to the near-encounter with a leopard! On our walking safari, we witness the unexpected drama of a warthog showdown. Later, Wildplaces owner Jonathan Wright tells me all about his new camps and lodges. Listen in to hear: What does it sound like to sleep under canvas at Honey Bear Camp? What are the chances of encountering a crocodile on our walking safari? Who were the classic filmstars and writers who inspired the names of Wildplaces’ new camps in Uganda? And lastly, why did I let Philip Briggs talk me into climbing into a warthog hole? Pour yourself a sundowner and join me, Charlotte Beauvoisin, author of Diary of a Muzungu, as we explore some of Uganda’s more remote safari destinations and take a walking safari on Kasenyi Plains. We stay at Honey Bear Camp, visit the site of the new River Station in Kyambura Game Reserve, Queen Elizabeth Conservation Area, Uganda. Welcome to my world!
