Has anyone found their way up to Baker's Fort at Patiko north of Gulu by bus or matatu? I was hoping it would be possible by public transport as I can omagine 32k on a boda might cost a fair few shillings as well as being fairly uncomfortable.
If anyone has any other information about Bakers Fort I would be glad to hear it. Cheers!
Absolutely DO NOT book any tours or send money to Joseph Kwihangana (Joe Kwiha, kwihaj@yahoo.co.uk, Tel +256787799389 of www.experience-uganda.com (details as of 8/2011). He is a CRIMINAL and a THEIF!! He took our money ($1,100) a month in advance to secure buying our gorills permits and never bought them. The side tour we also booked with him was a complete scam.
Also... Arthur (go.gorillas@gmail.com), the tour guide Joe contracted with, stole and crashed our safari van on our last night so we had to pay for additional transport. Both men had been arrested when we left Kisoro and what remained of the van was at the police station. It was obviously not the first time that Joe had scammed tourists. These two theifs could be operating out of either Kamala and/or Kisoro so be careful. Joe is very easy to identify as he has one leg shorter than the other and wears a special shoe. He also plays himself off as a psuedo-rastafarian. Unfortunatley, Joe has appeared in Lonely Planet recommendations in the past.
Again, DO NOT BOOK with JOE or ARTHUR from KISORO!!
