Safari plan for ex-President and party via Uganda railway
The account describes cautious travel logistics for a party including ex-President and son moving toward Nairobi. Swahili porters refuse meat not ritually prepared, complicating subsistence. The group splits into smaller units to travel via Kapiti Plains to Klima Theki farm, then Mt McMillan's Juja Farm, with Smithsonian scientists to accompany on a short mammal and bird safari before reuniting for a major safari.
