East African BirdsBy:Tourguide On my arrival in Uganda in 2002, it would have been fair to say that my knowledge of birdlife was minimal. However it soon became obvious to me, that with over 1400 species living or visiting East Africa, they were one of the regions greatest attractions. I have since spent many hours watching and photographing them for pure personal pleasure, and during this time I have been amazed by their diverse shapes, colours, and activities. In this book I have collected a small selection of my favourite photographs of the birds you will easily come across, that I hope you will enjoy. Readers will enjoy a visual delight of over 150 species of East African birds. <p> <b>About Author</b> <p> Andy Gooch travelled to East Africa from England in 2002.

Mountain GorillasBy:Tourguide I have been living in Africa for many years now and have had the opportunity to spend a lot of time in the bush. I could recount many sights and experiences which are best left to the local bar. If anyone asks me what my favourite experiences are? Gorillas will always be near the top of my list. It is an amazing experience which is well worth the undoubted planning and exercise. You will be one of the few people to take the trip as the permits are limited and sadly so are the gorilla with less than a thousand in existence. Treasure the experience and feel privileged that you spent time with one of nature's rarest animals. Release date:2012 Language:English

NRM 25 Years Politics, Policies and Personalities(First Edition)By:Tourguide NRM 25 Years Former British Prime Minister Harold Wilson once famously said that a week is a long time in politics. Going by that measure, twenty-five uninterrupted years for the NRM and President Yoweri Museveni, at the helm of national politics would indeed sound like a very long time. But that is if you do not consider the magnitude of the political, social, economic and physical work that has been compressed into these years, to put Uganda on its path to recovery. Over the last two and half decades, many things have changed in Uganda, mostly for better, although this view is contested by some. This book, in interviews and in-depth articles, highlights those changes in the different sectors and the views of the personalities that have shaped them. It certainly is not exhaustive as 25 years can hardly be fitted into 200 odd pages. Yet it is perhaps one of the best references for this generation to look back, and for future generations to judge the performance of the National Resistance Movement, and its leadership's performance over the last 25 years.
