Cheap safari... priceless encounters: An exhilarating night in Uganda in a TENT for two, with a toilet full of baboons and a scary big cat visiting the campsite
Laura Sharman goes wild camping in the Queen Elizabeth National ParkShe's treated to a 'savannah sonata' of hippos, hyenas and baboons READ MORE: The 'most expensive safari in the world' - costing £140,000 £ per person
Hippos croaking. Whooping hyenas. Screaming baboons.
These are members of the wildlife orchestra playing a “savannah sonata” that keeps me from falling asleep .
There is only a thin layer of canvas between me and the performers. Fortunately, I'm not alone and wonder if my fellow campers, in their own tents, are also "enjoying" the 2 a.m. show.
I'm in a two-person tent in Queen Elizabeth National Park in western Uganda, a very different experience from my usual camping trips to France, with their rhythmic lullaby of chirping crickets.
My adventure in Uganda begins on the other side of the country, in Jinja, which is at the end of a single dusty road, a three-hour drive from Entebbe airport.
