Orphanage in Uganda
When we visited the Bwindi gorillas in Uganda, we didn't have to walk more than 10 minutes from where we left the pick-up to get to the Habinyanja gorillas. That didn't let us fully enjoy the "Bwindi Impenetrable Forest." However, it did allow us to spend the rest of the morning visiting a village where orphaned children delighted us with a beautiful show of singing and dancing, and we joined in at the end. We decided to help the orphanage and buy some souvenirs. I bought a very small gorilla figurine (2 €) and a mask (4 €) which you can see in one of the photos. Prices are expensive for what life is like in Uganda (in our backpacking plan that was to last many weeks), but the important thing was to help and it really isn't much money for us in Spain.
