EDITOR’S LETTER
THE EYE

“Always find opportunities to make someone smile, and to offer random acts of kindness in
everyday life." — Roy T. Bennett”

Hello, Eye Readers!
The rainy season is upon us, but don’t let this stop you from
heading outdoors and into the countryside for a wildlife safari.
There is a lot to appreciate about Uganda’s national parks --
There are lions that live in trees in Kidepo Valley National Park &
the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park; mountain
gorillas that can be seen in their natural habitat in Bwindi
Impenetrable National Park; Shoebill Storks - a vulnerable species
- can be seen in Murchison Falls National Park and in the
Mabamba swamps; and lets not forget about the chimpanzees,
where Kibale Forest National Park is one of the best places
in the world to see them.
So pack your raincoat, gumboots, water and favourite snacks and head
out there despite the rain
Enjoy this issue - until the next one - travel well and take care!

Cover: Passionfruit Flower (Passiflora Edulis)
They are mostly tendril-bearing vines, with some being shrubs or trees.
They can be woody or herbaceous. Passion flowers produce regular

and usually showy flowers with a distinctive corona. There can be as
many as eight coronal series. The flower is pentamerous and ripens
into an indehiscent fruit with numerous seeds.
Passion flowers have floral structures adapted for biotic pollination.
