In episode 11, I’m joined by a visitor from Peru: ecologist and field researcher Chris Ketola. With 25 years’ experience working with wild animals, I’m intrigued to know how time in Equatorial Africa compares with his life in the Amazon.
During a ten-week tour of Uganda, Ketola and Fauna Forever co-founder Chris Kirkby led a team of 14 volunteers. Together they covered 3000 km, capturing (and releasing) 2000 birds and bats at eight sites across the country.
Listen to my conversation with Chris Ketola, accompanied by a backdrop of birdsong, as he reveals:
What are his tips for organising a trip to Uganda?
What did the baboons do to his mosquito net?
Which are his favourite Ugandan foods?
How does he reassure people not to be afraid of snakes?
And, why does he find bats so adorable?
Join me - Charlotte Beauvoisin, author of Diary of a Muzungu – on the shores of Lake Victoria as I compare notes with Chris Ketola.
