Pause An Experience

 Visit Ngamba Island and meet a chimpanzee.  52 Chimpanzees found a home on Lake Victoria,  I am not sure which canoe they rowed, but a number of them can be seen playfully jumping from one tree to another on Ngamba Island. After 40 minutes of setting of from #Entebbe, we docked on Ngamba Island, a sanctuary and home to 52 chimpanzee on Lake Victoria.  Did you know #chimpanzee can’t swim? 46 of the 52 Chimpanzee on the Island were integrated after being found in critical conditions that threatened their lives.

My attention was then focused on enjoying the adventure within the gigantic rocks of Eastern Uganda, and siping locally brewed Arabic coffee with the Mulima's as we watched waterfalls finding their way amongst rocks.

The afternoon turned into evening sooner than expected accompanied by beautiful moments only my heart and mind will remember. The best way to get to know them will be if you are willing to push yourself for your own adventure.
