She grew up in Kampala where most urbanites would happily take a motorcycle taxi to their bathroom if available… The Gorilla Highlands Pocket Guide is talking to domestic travellers as much as international tourists and the challenge is global: hiking is a niche activity. But it really shouldn’t be! No other way of travelling brings you as close to the landscape and the people, allows you to really feel a place. It is most environmentally friendly and, obviously, healthy. While some of the most astonishing destinations in our region (and the world) are only accessible on foot, for others walking is an option. Why not take it? Ultimate Beginners “It was the first time for me walking, ever, with a backpack,” said a Swedish guest earlier this year. “I usually go to cities and you walk a lot but not like this.” “No,” confirmed his hiking buddy quietly (gorillahighlands.com/testimonials). They were reflecting on a seven-day (!) Ultimate Hike on the Ugandan Gorilla Highlands Trails, leading them from Lake Bunyonyi to Mgahinga Gorilla National park and then across Lake Mutanda to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. And they weren’t even done: they added a climb to the lava lake of Mt Nyiragongo in DR Congo. They loved them both, and are determined to travel like that again. 4 The Gorilla Highlands Trails and the Congo Nile Trail (p52) combine into a multi-week adventure that photo by Henriette Faye-Schjøll takes you from the home of mountain gorillas to the doorstep of their eastern The Surprising Joy of Walking: lowland cousins (p29). From Mountain Hikes to City Strolls Their amount of trekking could well be life-threatening for a total beginner… Thankfully the Gorilla Highlands Trails include half-day experiences at Lake Burera and Lake Bunyonyi, and even easier walks in cities and towns. What are the Gorilla Highlands Trails? You have already read the term twice, time to explain it: the Gorilla Highlands Trails is a growing system of trips connecting the biggest regional attractions and tapping into the Congo Nile Trail for a three-country extravaganza. These offers are guided because nothing can enrich your trip more than a knowledgeable guide, and his/her first-aid training will also make you safer. You will see the trips presented on our maps all over the booklet and on gorillahighlands.com/trails. The Gorilla Highlands Trails currently bring you to three national parks. As an add-on, rangers can show you what is hiding inside, depending on your wishes and preferences. Alternatively you could find your own way to a national park and enjoy professionally led and affordable nature walk activities in protected areas. If nature sounds too scary to you, step into the urban jungle at least! Whatever you opt for, do get off your couch and into the wild, natural or urban… You will thank us later. 5 INTRODUCTION Red thread photo by Marcus Westberg 6 /intro Red thread Positioned in the heart of Africa, Rwanda is in many ways an exemplary country: orderly, clean and rapidly developing. Its northern neighbour Uganda has been dubbed the “Pearl of Africa” for good reason. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) that borders both countries to the west is a land that simply evokes adventure. Together they make a destination like no other, the Gorilla Highlands region. 7 Our region is defined by the Virunga volcanoes (p20) — some of them still active — and the ancient rainforest of Bwindi (p23) that represent the last Uganda Martyrs University home of the mountain gorilla. From the countless islands of Lake Bunyonyi a village campus so pretty (p33) to the seaside feel of Lake Kivu (p50) water bodies are sprinkled all you just have to see it over the valleys, interrupted by beautifully terraced hills. To reach the Gorilla Highlands, you can fly to Rwanda’s capital Kigali (p41), p67 Uganda’s Entebbe near Kampala (p45) or Congo’s Goma (p53); for the Kampala distances please consult p48. Numerous attractions are lined up on the way Mpigi but the savannahs of Queen Elizabeth (p27) with tree-climbing lions and Akagera (p26) with the Big 5 undoubtedly top the list. p66 Entebbe Queen p72 Elizabeth Lyantonde NP (p27) Masaka p74 Mbarara Equator Circles p74 Ntungamo Lake Mburo NP Bwindi NP (p23) zebras, giraffes, Lake Nabugabo impalas, walking laid-back atmosphere and safe swimming in safaris and even what was part of Lake Victoria 4,000 years ago horse riding Kisoro p69 Kabale p67 Volcanoes Virungas (p20) p73 Musanze Akagera p66 NP (p26) Gisenyi & Goma p64 p68 Kigali 8 Uganda Martyrs University a village campus so pretty you just have to see it p67 Kampala Mpigi p66 Entebbe Queen p72 Elizabeth Lyantonde NP (p27) Masaka p74 Mbarara Equator Circles p74 Ntungamo Lake Mburo NP Bwindi NP (p23) zebras, giraffes, Lake Nabugabo impalas, walking laid-back atmosphere and safe swimming in safaris and even what was part of Lake Victoria 4,000 years ago horse riding Kisoro p69 Kabale p67 Volcanoes Virungas VISA INFORMATION: The East African Tourist visa covers Rwanda, Uganda and (p20) p73 Kenya and costs USD 100.

Consequently it does not have the vast rolling savannahs of Kenya and particularly Tanzania, or the huge proliferation of plains animals that these countries are famous for. It is also only now recovering from the widespread poaching that went unchecked during years of violent conflict and political turmoil, which resulted in the destruction of massive animal populations and the local extinction of the rhino and wild dog. Although poaching does still occur in Uganda, as it sadly does all over Africa, the wildlife is now receiving a serious level of protection and is recovering remarkably well in most areas. The 2012 Uganda Wildlife Authority figures fully support this recovery, as the populations of many large species have more than doubled since the previous census in 1999, with the number of impala rising from around 1,600 to over 35,000. Elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, hippo and waterbuck populations have all increased significantly, confirming what those of us visiting regularly already knew, the animals are returning and Uganda is once again featuring as one of the top wildlife destinations on this or any other continent.

Types of natural resources. Renewable resources. Renewable resources are resources that can be replaced naturally once they are over- exploited. Non-renewable resources are resources that cannot be replace naturally once they are over-used or exhausted. Examples of renewable resources. • Plants • Animals • Water bodies • Land • Climate /rainfall/sunshine Examples of non-renewable resources • Minerals • Fossils fuel i.e. coal, oil, natural, gas Land • Land is the part of the earth that is not covered by water • Land supports most resources in the environment. 1 Importance of land • Land provides space for building houses / settlement. • Land is where crops are grown. • Land provides space for burying the dead. • Land provides space for grazing animals. • Minerals are mined from land. Problems facing land. • Dumping of garbage and toxic materials on land. • Over-cultivation • Deforestation • Land fragmentation • Soil erosion Possible solutions to some of the above problems. • Garbage should be used for other purposes like generation of biogas. • People should be encouraged to grow fodder crops for animals. • People should be encouraged to use manure and fertilizer. • Farmers should terrace their land to control soil erosion. • Educate the people about the benefits of re-afforestation. Note: There are things that people make to meet their needs and they are called human made resources. Examples include; - Electricity - Clothes - Shoes - Mobile phones - Books - Buildings - Vehicles - Drugs - Roads 2 Activity 1.

  • In the Preservation of Documentary Heritage: a Professional Challenge for Uganda
    Date : 02/07/2006 The place of ‘Library, Archives and Museum’ in the Preservation of Documentary Heritage: A professional challenge for Uganda Elisam Magara Senior Lecturer, East African School of Library and Information Science, Makerere University Kampala, Uganda Meeting: 96 Preservation and Conservation with Continuing Professional Education and Workplace Learning and the Preservation and Conservation Core Activity Simultaneous Interpretation: No WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 72ND IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 20-24 August 2006, Seoul, Korea http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla72/index.htm Abstract Libraries, archives and museum constitute a major part of the people’s life and reflect the diversity of people’s languages and cultures in the knowledge society. Despite of the colonial influence, many African countries including Uganda have preserved their natural and cultural heritage in terms of social tradition and documentary heritage with little emphasis on the integration of the functions of the libraries, archives and museum. A survey on selected institutions that are involved in the collection, storage, preservation and promotion on the use of natural, historical, cultural documentary heritage in Uganda was conducted. The data was obtained through interviews of key persons that were selected purposively from those institutions, attending the consultative meetings with staff at the National Library of Uganda, Uganda Museum, National Archives and East African School of Library and Information Science, department of Records and Archives Management. The paper also attempted to review the literature about the subject. Findings indicated that there is lack of a strategy in co- ordinating the functions of libraries, archives and museum in documenting and preserving the documentary heritage in Uganda.
