Transportation: Flights to Entebbe, Uganda, (EBB) onward to Kihihi air strip (KHX) by Aerolink Airlines, Bwindi Community Hospital transport or hired transport depending on numbers of interested individuals. Roads to many of the schools are rough and not maintained - anything can come up - weather, livestock, mechanical that might/will make this a fluid experience which requires patience, safety, and a sense of humor and a positive respect for our hosts and anyone we meet - children, teachers, administrators, leaders, roadside vendors, etc.
