Although it is one of the richest country in the world regarding natural resources, it is also the poorest, with the second lowest nominal GDP per capita… thus a complex country with repetitive political instability (see Radio Okapi. To follow the current situation). It is also the home to one of our closest evolutionary cousins, the bonobo. Traduisez ce site avec Google. Back to the top.

This is where I was born and raised. We lived in a flat but my father took me everyday to the bois de Vincennes. With our dog.

After our rather unpleasant adventure in Southwestern Uganda, we luckily ended up in welcoming places in Kampala, meeting old friends and making new ones while trying to find somewhere else to continue the study and the adventure Two weeks of uncertainty, with much hope and big disappointments, again an emotional rollercoaster until receiving the final decision accepted back in Budongo.
