This is how we were welcomed during our check-in upon arrival at Queen Elizabeth National Park. A 4 course delicious dinner with a beautiful sunset over the Kazinga Channel. Lovely experience as they set up tables out in their central lawn area and you are eating outside along with hippos and warthogs grazing just next to the guests. Then we had a bonfire to sit beside later and enjoyed the sounds of hippos grazing, crickets and other surrounding wildlife.

This beautiful lodge is a sister lodge to Kibale Forest Camp and part of the Nature Lodges. I'll share more details later on.

A brief moment for our guest at the new and now launched Uganda Equator Monument at Kikorongo, Kasese, on our way to Queen Elizabeth National Park.🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬 She absolutely loved it.

Uganda is one of the few countries worldwide that is crossed by the equator. The imaginary line cuts the Earth into the northern and southern hemispheres. While the Equator crosses through Uganda, the most Iconic spots for the equator crossing is in Kayabwe, Mpigi District just 70 kilometers from Kampala city and Kikorongo, Kasese District in Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Day 10 of our 18 Days Explore Uganda customized safari.🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬 - Today's highlight was the spectacular Sempaya Female and Male Hot Springs. Visiting Semuliki National Park in Bundibujo, deep western Uganda was the highlight for today. Here, our client got a chance to explore & experience both the Female & Male Hot Springs. Uganda's beauty and endowments can only be appreciated by the rest of the World through all of us. Its always a delight to showcase Uganda to our guests.

The Sempaya Hot springs (male and female) are located in the gazetted area of Semuliki National park in western Uganda. These amazing springs have high temperatures up to 100 degrees Celsius. The force, strength and hotness of these springs show the strength of the geographical forces underground.
The locals refer to one as being female and the other being male. The trek to see these hot springs led us to see other forest wonders (Ituri forest) like the mangabey monkeys, the red tailed monkey, the black and white colobus monkey and lots of other nature like the green vegetation diversity.

Best accommodations when you visit Kibale National Park, Uganda🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬. Our recommendations are Primate Lodge, Chimpundu Lodge and Kibale Forest Camp. These are all Ugandan owned.

For our World-Trotters guests, we booked Chimpundu and Kibale Forest Camp for this particular trip. Privately owned Chimpundu Lodge offers Luxury cottage accommodation and an array of authentic Forest experiences in a lush indigenous setting. At this beautiful lodge, you can enjoy the true African experience and impeccable service offered by Chimpundu Lodge and Spa.

Chimpundu is a harmonious blend of two words: Chimp (for chimpanzee) and Mpundu (a term from the Runyankole Rukiga dialect, also meaning chimpanzee). This unique combination reflects the singular charm of our lodge. Chimpundu Lodge sets the stage for a serene, nature-filled, and unforgettable experience, completing any Ugandan safari with the mesmerizing backdrop of Kibale Forest National Park; home to the world’s most revered chimpanzees.

Spend time relaxing with family and friends at the bar, enjoy memorable meals at the restaurant or at the swimming pool gazebo, or simply spend time reading a novel in the comfortable lounge. Cool off after a day of enthralling chimpanzee trekking with a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, and enjoy watching a favorite channel with loved ones on satellite TV in the lounge.

Travel Tip Tuesday - Journey Management / Driving During Rainy Season / Safety First!!!

While dropping off customers to Entebbe International Airport to catch their scheduled flight, and also pick up cargo for another client, we experienced a bout of very heavy rainfall, accompanied by tiny hailstones. Our originally smooth drive along the Entebbe Express Highway was interrupted by large amounts of water on the windscreen, hailstones and mist that affected visibility. At this moment, I asked the driver to immediately, but gently drive off the road, find a safe parking spot and turn on the head & tail lights; a safety protocol we call STOP WORK AUTHORITY (SWA).

Stop Work Authority (SWA), is a safety protocol mostly used in high risk industries i.e. Aviation, Oil & Gas, Manufacturing, Logistics & Transport. Stop Work Authority empowers employees to stop work immediately if they observe an unsafe condition or behavior that could potentially cause harm to themselves or others. Using SWA is critical to ensuring workers can identify and report hazards and take appropriate action to mitigate risk. In travel, the same protocol can be used to ensure you and others are safe during travels. You can for example use your AUTHORITY to STOP a driver that is driving recklessly or halt a journey if the weather conditions are volatile (at World-Trotters, we do this all the time).

Rains are good but they pause risks / hazards more so on the roads i.e. slippery roads, flooded roads, falling objects, poor visibility etc. Due to the rains that are starting, there is potential for slippery roads, falling trees, branches, poles etc. along the roads.

HOW CAN RAIN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT?

1. Decreased Visibility - During rain storms, it can be difficult for drivers to see other cars. When rain is combined with dirty water thrown up from the road by other drivers, windshields can quickly become dirty.

2. Diminished Traction - Rain can make it more difficult to stay on a roadway, to stop, or to avoid colliding with other vehicles. This is especially true when it first starts raining, because accumulated oils will rise to the road surface and cause the road to become especially slippery.

3. Conduct of Other Drivers - An excessively timid driver will overestimate the danger of the weather conditions, and will drive at unreasonable low speed. When the weather limits the number of available traffic lanes, such as can happen following heavy rain, this type of driver can cause traffic to back up.

A reckless driver - will completely ignore the consequences of weather, or may even think it is a good thing that the weather has forced a lot of other drivers off of the road. Often this driver will be in a four wheel drive automobile, and will assume that 4WD somehow makes it impossible for a car to skid. When a sudden emergency arises, or they lose control on a slippery road, their high speed makes it much more likely for a car accident to occur.

4. High potential for falling Debris, trees, branches & Poles.
SUGGESTED WAYS

• Plan your journey in advance (Journey Management Plan) – is there a route with less exposure to the risk of falling trees or poles? mitigate risk by considering another route.

• Watch out for trees and bushes on the roadside.

• Drive slower - This may seem like an obvious tip, but it is a very important one. Rainwater causes the grease and oil that have built up on the road, to surface. This causes tires to lose traction on the road. If you drive slower, this increases your chances for better tire reaction. The other point that most people miss is that driver perception is decreased, so driving slower allows for better reaction times.

• Look well ahead, that way you don’t need to take your eye off the road and you can see any windy patches before you get to them.

• Keep an eye on what is happening to other vehicles.

• If visibility is compromised during your journey, immediately, but gently drive off the road, find a safe packing spot and turn on your car headlights & taillights (which act as safety indicators) as you wait for the rain fall to decrease and mist to fade away.

🚐Travel Tip Tuesday - Journey Management (Planning your journeys before & during your travels)🚐

Are you ready for that Road Trip? Is your driver ready for that Safari? Are your customers ready for that safari? How do you know and what does it take to be ready? At World-Trotters, the safety and comfort of our customers is very vital; and we will work/partner with the best brands to ensure our customers travel SAFE!!!

Good Journey Management is all about defensive driving skills, preparation (of your customers, drivers, journeys and vehicles) and attitude. The ability to respect traffic laws, to be alert at all times, to be patient and courteous to other drivers, to use correct judgement and most importantly, to drive defensively! If you can do all this, you are already a good journey manager.

As a Certified Logistics & Transport specialist, my 12 years so far working in different fields; the Oil & Gas Industry mostly, I have been taught one important thing - SAFETY FIRST!!! There is not any one moment that I let my drivers depart with personnel or cargo without a Journey Management Plan and a SAFETY briefing (A Tool Box Talk). Tool box/Safety briefings are informal group discussions that focus on a particular safety issue. They enable us to remind and up-skill drivers prepare for an upcoming journey and to better manage challenges on the roads. This has always been a company/business culture. If we didn't carry it out physically, we would do the talk on phone. At World-Trotters, we have applied the same culture.

So, how do you prepare for that Road trip or plan your journeys?

1. Get your vehicle road ready - Perform regular maintenance checks like oil changes, brakes, lights, engines, battery and tire pressure checks. If you’re not sure what to do, have a qualified technician inspect your vehicle. Make sure you or your driver and the vehicle are ready for the road. Also, consider the type of fuel you fill your tank with. Better to stick with reputable brands that have over the years proven to supply good quality fuel.

2. Get your driver road ready - Is your driver well rested? in good health? is your driver well facilitated? Have you checked their documentation like valid driving permit, valid passport, valid certificate of vehicle insurance (Third-Party). Is your driver sober, well rested, in perfect health? Is the vehicle in good mechanical condition?). These are all very vital.

3. Plan your route - Have you planned which route to take. Did you carry out a route survey? Is it a safe route? What is the road condition along that route? Are there any foreseen loopholes? How many stopovers do you plan to make for rest, meals, refuel etc?

4. Focus on the road - Encourage your drivers to be aware of the conditions around them (to Watch out for other road users, road construction sites, road signs, extreme weather conditions i.e. heavy rain, snow, fog etc).

5. Eliminate distractions (Emphasize to your drivers the dangers of talking on the phone, eating on wheels, grooming self while driving.

6. Prepare your drivers emotionally and physically. (An angry, anxious, fearful, fatigued or stressed driver is a Red Flag on the roads. Say NO to road rage! Say NO to fatigued driving! Say YES to calm, relaxed, rested and alert driving).

7. Plan an escape Route - When climbing up or rolling down the highway, especially in heavy traffic, always plan an ‘escape route’. You do this by keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead of you.

8. Keep an emergency kit in your car. Especially before you head out on a road trip, prepare for the unexpected by keeping these items on board: Cellphone and car charger, First aid kit, Flashlight, Flares, Jumper cables, Candles and matches, Non-perishable food items, Water, Blankets, Personal safety awareness (masks, sanitizers, medicines, personal effects, Vital documentation (Passport, National I.Ds, Vaccination cards etc).

8. ALWAYS, ALWAYS use your best common sense and correct judgement.

You, and the people that you move are very important. Please plan your journeys and stay safe on the roads. Always REMEMBER, SAFETY FIRST!!!
