THE EYE EDITOR’S LETTER

The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold
a man’s foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat
higher.” - Thomas Huxley

Hello, Eye Readers!
We are in the last quarter of 2024 – where has the time gone? In April I was reminding
myself of the fact that it was still 8 months to go until Christmas, and here we are – just
two months away. Time is one of those things that we cannot get back, so we need to
use our time carefully and wisely and in the best possible way we can – without regret
as “time and tide wait for no man”
So what plans have you made for the festive season and do they include a trip up-
country or to one of Uganda’s national parks? There is certainly an abundance of
accommodation to suit all pockets and for those thrill seekers out there, there are
some really awesome outdoor activities to participate in. If you are lying low and just
chilling with friends and family, then a visit to some of the cities restaurants is a must –
and there are many out there to satisfy the biggest of cravings. Whatever you choose
to do this season, travel well, travel safely and enjoy Uganda
“A new year is on the way, and the possibilities are endless”
COVER: AFRICAN QUEEN
African Queen (also known as SS Murchison) was the name of two boats
used in the 1951 movie The African Queen starring Humphrey Bogart and
Katharine Hepburn. It was filmed in the Belgian Congo on a tributary of the
Congo River, and on the Nile in the Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda.
Two boats were used, one in each location. One of the boats is now located
in Key Largo, Florida, and on February 18, 1992, was added to the U.S.
National Register of Historic Places. The other is located in Entebbe, Uganda.

ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER: FRÉDÉRIC LEPRON
I was born in France, and have been in love with Africa since my childhood.
I decided 9 years ago to cross the continent by bike from Morocco to South
Africa. On this occasion I fell in love with Uganda where I have lived for 7 years.
I was able to develop my passion for photography due to the beauty of the
fauna and flora of this country, without forgetting the very varied landscapes
and the kindness of the Ugandans. I am always happy to be in the middle of
wildlife. Uganda Forever
