Angama lizard

Spotted this Angama lizard when we were up at the old Pakuba Lodge, the now overgrown lodge that was taken over and used by Idi Amin during his time in power, looking for leopard.

Agama is a genus of small-to-moderate-sized, long-tailed, insectivorous Old World lizards. The genus Agama includes at least 37 species in Africa, especially sub-Saharan Africa, where most regions are home to at least one species. Eurasian agamids are largely assigned to genus Laudakia.
