Dicki - we got to Fort Portal, and Kibale Forest NP, but the Rwenzori's / Gorillas were just too much money - the reserve fees are high to ensure that tourism covers the cost and doesn't get too popular. We then found out that friends could get us the cheaper Nationals passes as we'd stayed in the country long enough. Drat.
It's not exactly bike touring country - the lorry drivers are lunatics, but there's a fair few people using bikes to transport crops / water / people / charcoal on the roads.
I'm doing some work on a project in Kitgum, in Northern Uganda at the moment, and just got some EU funding, so hopefully, there's a return visit planned next year.
