Uganda has been on my list for quite a while. I had been in communication with Christian Weth of Uganda Wildlife Safaris for some years and 2018 was finally my time to visit this exotic location.
I booked the hunt more than a year in advance and my friend Gustavo from San Antonio joined me for the 2x2 safari. We booked the 15 day safari that would enable us to hunt East African Sitatunga, Nile Buffalo, Uganda Kob and a variety of plainsgame unique to East Africa.
We departed Houston headed for Entebbe via Amsterdam on KLM. We tried to purchase business class upgrades but the flight was full so we were resigned to our comfort plus seating. It turned out well, with ample legroom and a vacant seat between us. Between business, family commitments and the Easter Holiday I was exhausted so was able to sleep most of the flight.
We arrived Schipol Airport about 7AM and found our way to some coffee to clear the cobwebs. The layover is less than 4 hours so we walked around the airport, hit duty free and got a bit of exercise.
Since both of us have hunted Africa extensively, but never Uganda we conversed about the upcoming safari with much anticipation. Going to a new country a new area and hunting species you have never laid eyes on is like being a little boy at Christmas again!
Once again we struck out on upgrades so back to our regular seats.
