The sights we seen.

Here are a few picture of what we have been doing the past two Saturdays. We first went to the Kasubi Tombs to see the burial place of the last four Kabakas. This was a treat for the historian in me as the guide was full of information on Buganda History. The actual tomb itself is located in the former palace of Kabaka Mutesa I, the first of the four Kabakas buried inside. The ancestors of the Kabaka's many wives take turns living on the grounds and sleeping in the tomb. Each shift last a month.

Here is Kasubi Tombs.

The next weekend we visited the Uganda Wildlife Education Center (aka the zoo). At visit I felt rather dubious about visiting the zoo as I generally disagree with the conditions the animals are forced to live in. However, before going I read that is in fact an animal sanctuary for animals that can not survive in the wild on their own. The grounds were quite generous and the animals looked well taken care of. There were many types of birds, a lion, ostriches, zebras and monkeys galore. There was even a family of monkeys that were freely roaming the grounds completely unafraid of humans. At lunch they would jump up on the table and try to steal food off your plate. They managed to take one of the other customers sandwich. The zoo was located right on the shores of Lake Victoria so I got a chance to go swimming. It was a nice added bonus. Entebbe is beautiful I can wait to go back to see the Botanical Gardens.

This is the Crested Crane, the official bird of Uganda. Its likeness even grace the country's flag and currency.

The Shoebill is one of the birds Uganda is best known for.

Two of the lest mischievous monkeys we encountered at the zoo, but easily the cutest.
