UGANDA

 

With its deep red soil

High high up on the equator

A great green spectacular land

 

The Nile rapids plummet north

40 million farmers living life

Blue skies, rainy seasons

 

Lions, giraffes complete Safari’s 

Crazy Kampala where life is slowly fast

Country roads where more people walk

Where Boda’s rule, trucks puff and smoke

 

Mburo with Lodges on land islands

Murchison with parks and falls

Queen Elizabeth has it all

 

Snowy mountains of the moon

Nile perch flap to your plate

Charcoal food and exhaust mix

 

Elegant ladies in Sunday best

Smouldering brick kilns

Yellow water jerries balanced on heads and bikes

 

Neat sugar and tea fields stretch out

Everyone grows Pineapples and Bananas

Watch out “A goat and kid”

 

Gorillas in the misty mountains

A climate thats right for anyone

This is the Jewel of Africa’s

Dr Lillingston, I presume? Don't get lost! Thanks for sharing your tales of exploration - it's always good to read of faraway places. Proper Boy's Own stuff. Glad to hear you didn't bag any big game though.
