Gorilla Safari - Uganda Aug 11
Dear all
Gillian & I would be happy to hear from you if you are going on this trip. I think we all travel out from Amsterdam together to start our safari, but if not, two weeks in a tent with a long drop toilet should break the ice for the group.
We have travelled to many other countries, and last year went on a conservation study tour of Borneo, primarily looking at Orang Utans, so are giving the gorillas and chimps a try this year. We have also visited China, Peru, South, North and West Africa, as well as Europe. We are at the bottom end of our mid-forties, but dont let that put you off, there is plenty of life left in these old dogs.
Gillian is a teacher (top primary) and doesn't particularly enjoy being called an old dog, and I run my own business supplying equipment for children with special needs. We look forward to meeting you all.
Best wishes
Mick

Hi Mick and Gillian
I am going on this trip but am on a different flight so will meet you all over there. Have also seen the Orang Utans so it seems fair to see the gorillas as well.
I come from brighton and work for local council really looking forward to the trip. I have question are you having rabies jabs as am not sure if it's necessary, my docs surgery thinks it's a good idea. Would prefer not have them and would be keen to know what others are doing.
Kind regards
Nigel
Hi Nigel, Gillian had the rabies jab last year for Borneo, but I didn't, but will take advice this week on if I need it for Uganda, with us being a little more remote. There were no real side effects from the rabies jabs other than a sore arm and an empty wallet. Regards, Mick & Gillian
Hello there
I am also off to see the gorillas on 21st August. Like Nigel, I work for a local authority but in London (although I live in Essex) and I went with my son to Borneo last August to see the orangutans which I loved so it is a small world! Not so sure that Mick and Gillian should call themselves 'oldies' - they are youngsters to me now I am 61! Decided I must do this trip while I have still got the energy - elephants next year as I hear that is very strenuous. I have also been to China and Peru, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands in the last few years. My doctor said not to worry about rabies shot so I didn't. Have you guys got your Ugandan visa? I had to renew my passport so I am only just about to send for mine. I am flying from Heathrow early on 21st.
Look forward to meeting you all.

Hi Lin
Our Visas took only a few days, and we posted them directly to the Ugandan Embassy and they sent them back. You must pay cash, and send a pre paid recorded delivery envelope, but it was all painless. We fly Look forward to seeing you in Uganda, Mick & Gillian.
