The Rothschild Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi) is among the most endangered giraffe subspecies with only a few hundred members in the wild. It is named after the famous family of the Tring Museum's founder, Lord Walter Rothschild, and is also known as the Baringo Giraffe, after the Lake Baringo area of Kenya, or as the Ugandan Giraffe. All of those that are living in the wild are in protected areas in Kenya and Uganda. (Recently it has been proposed that the Rothschild Giraffe is actually a separate species from other giraffes and not a giraffe subspecies).

An incredible experience I will never forget, being so very close to these amazing primates.
Murchison Falls | Uganda
During a boat trip on the nile we were able to witness this Fisheagle, catching a big tilapia and resting just in front of our boat on a dead branch.
This photo is from 1999 when i traveled to Uganda a few months after the gorilla trekking tourist killings had occured. The country lost most of its tourism in the wake of this massacre so there were very few vehicles with white people traveling the country. Children all over could hear our vehicle approaching and would run out of their houses yelling and waving "How are you?" We were more of an attraction to them than the gorillas were to us.
Seen on a safari drive through Murchison Falls National Park. The park is full of plains and wildlife was very plentiful.
On this trip to Uganda we used Ngoni Safaris Uganda. They provided excellent service. I highly recommend them. James was our guide while in the Murchison Falls area. We stayed at Pukuba Safari Lodge while visiting this part of Uganda.

Kisoro is the last town in Uganda before the Rwandan border. Home to refugees from the 1994 Rwandan genocide that massacred 1 million people, as well as the Congo War that started in 1998 and officially ended in 2003 claiming 3,5 million lives.
The sight of a lone child in a field of portaloos is the stark reminder of the countless orphans created by these conflicts. And still... they waive at you as you pass.
