Sunrise over burned land
February 5, 2021 in Uganda ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
My flight back home is on February 17th from Dar-es-Salaam and I have to speed up a bit. I have to skip remote, northern Uganda and will go directly to the west where new mountains are waiting to be discovered and the Nile flows from Lake Victoria into Lake Albert. I cross the totally deserted Pian-Upe Wildlife Reserve towards Kamalinga Hills. Yet another cattle-keeping and agriculturally active tribe is awaiting me here. They wear robes similar to the Maasai but also "modern", funny hats and look very serious with that outfit. I sleep next to the road and as always nobody cares. Just two motorbikes pass by and greet me. I like remote Africa.Read more
Traveler Looked in Sasols birds - it really is a long crested eagle (on the pics there it is black and only sometimes a little brighter chest, not white)

Michi, der Awesome, thanks! In my pocket guide "Birds of East Africa" it is described with more white parts and white legs. But on my pic the legs are hidden by the bush and the body is turned away slightly. Found another one recently with much longer crest. They look pretty funny on top of the trees. They seem to search for food directly under their trees and turn their heads crazily while keeping the body completely erected.
