Scholar Happy Sauda, who made a very gracious speech at the Friday June 27 Muchwa ceremony.





Saturday evening we all went to Ndali Lodge for dinner with an eclectic group including the chairman of the Leakey Foundation and his family, plus Richard and Elizabeth Wrangham, and also researchers and staff from the Field Station. This is an exceptionally beautiful spot. On one side of the lodge, just a few feet away there’s a 300-foot sheer drop to the Rukwanzi crater lake below, and on the other side there are panoramic views of the Ruwenzori Mountains (when they emerge on rare occasions from the mist and clouds, that is!).
