Plants are used for medicinal uses in Uganda. This one treats malaria.

Those seeds were in here.
Goats eat this prickly thistle stuff...ouch! Every goat has a rope. Don't want him to goat anywhere he shouldn't!
Sweet potato crops:
Voila le pomme de terre dolce. (We met some Frenchy Italians tonight.)
Meet the Black Headed Heron. He just swallowed a snake.
Mango tree and a local.
Kibale toilet paper. You can't find the paper kind in this neck of the jungle.
We enjoyed this exquisite view from the crest of a hill.

Cassava
This thorny beast of a tree does something good, but I can't remember what.

Yams
2 sets of hippo tracks on Hippo Highway:
Sorghum is used to make beer. Is this like hops?
The crater lakes viewed from the top of the world.
