Northwestern Uganda. West of the Nile. Yes, that is where West Nile Virus is from. Despite the security warning box in the 2009 East Africa Lonely Planet, it's supposed to be pretty safe up there. The long distance busses, however, are not safe. So, guess what? I am taking a "Postal Bus" - yes, the Ugandan Post Office sells seats on its mail carrying busses, so I am taking one of those up to Gulu.
