cemetery near the Church of Mother of God in Murro Masindi was tidied up a few years ago by the local parish priest, Fr. Joseph Ndiraba Abooki, as it was very overgrown etc. Fifty of our nearest and dearest are buried here. Our church "Matki Boskiej Czestochowskiej", nearing its completion stands to this day. The local people, not being able to say the Polish name, call it the Church of Mother of God.

In 1939, 2000 Polish women, elderly and children arrived in western Uganda. The Polish Catholic Church at Nyabyeya was built almost entirely by these women who had left their husbands and other male relatives in Europe, fighting in World War Two. The church is well-maintained (thanks to active links with Poland) and very popular on Sundays. It has the original wooden pews, stained glass windows, towering wooden sculpture of Jesus (most likely made of local Mahoghany), paintings of the 'Stations of the Cross,' altar ornaments, and interesting Catholic artefacts. The church has inscriptions in Polish, English, Latin and Munyoro, local language. Traditional Ugandan musical instruments also feature (drums and the adungu). Next to the church is the cemetery, where graves of 43 Polish remain. It's not easy to find this church (we saw no signposts) but it's definitely worth a visit if you're interested in history. It's approx one hour's drive from Masindi and just five minutes from the Royal Mile, Budongo Forest. My visit was organised by Sallie and Robert from New Court View Hotel in Masindi, where I stayed for five nights.

We had a small private boat arranged by our driver/guide for $32 p/p.(note this is the same price as other tours) Departed directly from our accommodation. The guide, Martin was a former park ranger with UWA. The company name was Kazinga Channel Beach, Beach Communtty Tourism project. I’m sure the lodge can hook you up if you decide to go with him. This two hour tour was full of excellent information by our well informed guide. Loved the ability to get close to the elephants and buffalo at bathing time, tons of hippos and assorted bird life. While we could give QENP a miss, the 2 hour boat ride was well worth it and the best reason to visit this park
