A very short weekend of hikes, tunnel vision, Marburg infested bat caves, smiling children, muzungu walking sticks, glucose cookies and impressive waterfalls at Sipi Falls in Eastern Uganda.









Columbia University graduate student navigates the minefields of UNICEF and Save the Children in Uganda. From the IDP camps in the north to good old-fashion food security in the south, life stays interesting...

Great pictures! How far did you have to go to get to Sipi Falls? Any sort of transportation available? Did you get a chance to go with co-workers? So much adventure, so little time!
Sipi Falls is about 10 hours from Nakasongola... However, I was about halfway there with the Jinja Ag show. Transport was no problem and met up with a SIPA friend. Not a lot of time left here... Planning one more big trip to Rwanda in a couple of weeks before heading home.
Hey, as an aside, there's a story up on Boing Boing about political, anti-poverty/anti-violence hip-hop in Uganda . . . thought you might enjoy (if you have a reasonably fast connection):
