Cows, pigs and goats

Livestock is everywhere in Kibaale – we saw these cows and goats being herded along the road while driving around the district.  This herd belonged to nomads who were driving them through the village in search of pasture.  It took quite a few minutes to find a path through all the animals and we narrowly missed some of those huge horns.



Pigs are a common sight here – in Kampala you don’t see them, possibly because people keep them in piggeries out of sight to avoid offending the Muslim population.  I had pork and chips for dinner on Thursday, and I’m pretty sure I glimpsed a pig beings transported on the back of a motorcycle yesterday. 
These little kids made quite a goaty acrobatic team – I think they were hungry and trying to persuade their mother to feed them.
