Paraa Lodge old runway coordinates

Good day,
Are there any ex East African Airways captains,who used to fly the Twin Otter out of Entebbe back in 1975, out there?
I was on an R&R out of the copperbelt back in May 1975 and stopped off in Paraa Lodge on the way out. The captain buzzed the lodge and then dropped us off on the grass strip. We sat in the cab of an old fire truck parked under a rondaaval for two hours waiting to be picked up by lodge staff(seems like they forgot about us)
The strip was surrounded by heavy bush and I have been looking recently on GE and cannot spot it, nearest one currently shown is Pakuba (PAF) but appears to be too far away from the lodge and also there is definitely not enough bush around it.
Is there anyone out there who remembers the old strip? or can advise me where to look to find the coordinates of it?
Had many photos of it but had the film confiscated on the way back,having been caught taking pictures at EBB (HUEN)


Thanks for any help
