Security in Gulu

Gone are the days when traveling to Gulu and northern Uganda in general would send adrenaline rising through one's body. Today i can comfortably say northern Uganda is one of the safest and most exciting places to travel to by road. Recently a friend of mine rang me and said he is traveling to Kampala for business and would be back to Gulu the same day at 10.00pm, he was departing Gulu at 2am. This reminded me how safe and secure the roads are, save for the minor few  road accidents. Jill who works with an NGO here in Gulu together with a couple of friends took a day trip  to Murchison falls national park, they departed Gulu at 5.00am in the morning to be able to do an early morning game drive. After all the activities they left the park at 7pm and headed straight to Gulu after a fun filled day in the wilderness. Honestly, what can be more safer and secure than this.
