Leg 104, Kigalu, Rwanda to Mogoto, Uganda

DAY12_4.PLN (8.1 KB)

A lot of messy terrain today including bad weather, this area is not well captured. It’s a shame since it included Mount Stanley and more volcano sites. Too many clouds there I guess, all on the sat images.

Flight time 6:38 21 stops

Mount Niyaragongo from its good side before the weather managed to hide it

11,384 ft high active volcano with the world’s largest lava lake

Older eruption site, Baruta, just to the North of Niyaragongo

Due to the active nature of the volcano, most of Niyaragongo is permanently hidden beneath the smoke

This is the one part with detail, everywhere off screen it’s a mess, no lava lake unfortunately

The real thing

Active volcanoes and waterfalls on the wish list!

Kisoro near Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and Volcanoes national park

Detail is pretty poor around here, better for the weather to hide it

What it looks like in reality

Rutshuru in the western branch of the Albertine Rift

Queen Elizabeth National Park further North on the way to Mount Stanley (in the distance)

Kasese at the base of Mount Stanley or rather cloud Stanley

Rwenzori Mountains National Park

The real thing

Margherita on the North side of Mount Stanley

Guess where the mountain is

Crossing back to the South-East side

Cleared it, barely

Kyenjojo

Near Kitega

Entebbe International Airport

Kampala, the capital of Uganda

Kabaka’s Palace in Kampala

Which includes this torture chamber from the butcher of Uganda, Idi Amin

The rest of the trip was pretty much flat with default texture patches to cover up the clouds on the sat data

Losing light on the way to Matany

No clue when the moon will be out, drone cam landing at Moroto before the last light disappears
