Shane and Phil chat about “The Pearl of Africa.” While flying helicopters in Botswana, Shane got in the habit of asking the well-traveled people he met, “What’s the one place you think is a must-see?”

The answer that came up most often was, “You must go see the gorillas.” Shane shares the research and the reason he chose Uganda as the country from which to see the Mountain Gorillas.

We’re taught not to anthropomorphize animals but Shane says that’s difficult while watching a silverback pick his nose just like your Uncle Billy sometimes does at the dinner table. You’ll get to trek along on two different days with two very different family groups and Shane will share the darker side of harems.

Take a trip up the Nile to the base of Murchison Falls to watch bird nerds get epic shots of a life-lister and ignore the hippos, crocs and elephants. A myriad of bananas and crowded towns round out the observations in this land-locked country the size of Iowa with over fifty recognized languages.

In this episode, Shane talks about traveling around Uganda, handy things to have, and a side safari.
