The equator in Uganda 

After several days in a great hostel, it was time to leave Kampala and travel to the far south west of the country. The hostel had everything, purpose built and manicured gardens, plus wifi, swimming pool, beer and cheap food.
I had already crossed the equator but this place had a little more to see. One of the signs plus a yellow line crossing the road to indicate the equator.
The sign on the other side of the road and the line continues up to and through the door of a local restaurant.
After the hostel in Kampala we would be bush camping again but we did stop off at a hostel and restaurant en route with a grand entrance (the tusks aren't real).
There were some statues in the grounds such as this tall piece made of bronze people.
And the coat of arms of Uganda, a crested crane and a Ugandan job flanking a shield.

 And then we headed off to the mountains and it Nisan area of steep mountains, deep valleys and lakes and sometimes called Africa's Switzerland. A view down the valley.
 A view from the top of a pass as we descended towards Kanbale.
