presumably including a careful rwtzug visit<br/>
but with a puzzle or 2<br/>
<br/>
for the nyungwe forest that is named by the reporter<br/>
as the source point isnt really 66 river miles above<br/>
lake victoria as claimed <br/>
but actually hundreds of air miles beyond that <br/>
<br/>
oops<br/>
<br/>
i do tend to trust everything else about the report<br/>
tho <br/>
based on this earlier notice of the expedition<br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.ascendthenile.co.uk/expedition.html">http://www.ascendthenile.co.uk/expedition.html</a><br/>
in which the stated intention of ascending the kagera<br/>
is what alerted me to the fact that this truth head<br/>
party would necessarily visit rwtzug<br/>
<br/>
aka the rwanda tanzania uganda tripoint<br/>
<br/>
which is known to be at the thalweg junction of the<br/>
kakitumba with the kagera<br/>
per brownlie<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
this map suggests that the writer simply confused the<br/>
nyungwe forest<br/>
which is outlined in grayish green at dead center in<br/>
southwest rwanda<br/>
with another famous rwandan national park named<br/>
akagera<br/>
which is also shown in green outline<br/>
but in the necessarily correct location in<br/>
northeastern rwanda<br/>

<br/>
& the true nile source location 66 river miles from<br/>
lake victoria must be in the northernmost reaches of<br/>
that correct green outline<br/>
as you can see if you will pan east once<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
except<br/>
there is one more puzzle<br/>
for the kagera is known to continue falling from many<br/>
miles farther south than 66 river miles above victoria<br/>

<br/>
another oops perhaps <br/>
but i will reserve judgment on that one<br/>
for it could simply be a misprint for 166 or 266 or<br/>
something<br/>
placing the true source point that much farther south<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
of course i will be looking out now for the early<br/>
rushes from the expedition <br/>
not only for further clarification & more details of<br/>
their truly monumental discovery of the corrected<br/>
sawanabori point <br/>
but perhaps even more expectantly for any first word<br/>
or image of our virgin rwtzug tripoint <br/>
at the most significant confluence & moment of truth<br/>
en route to their river source target<br/>
<br/>
