Safari'tastic
















Following the monkey business in Bwindi, the intrepid explorers continued in search of more Ugandan National Parks - & they were not disappointed... Lake Mburo provided warthogs, baby crocodiles, Ugandan Cob & some humungous hippos; Queen Elizabeth National Park was home to the tree-dwelling lions (though the ones we saw were quite determinedly staying on the ground). A terrific time was had with the chimps in Kyambura Gorge - quite a different experience from the gorillas in that they all went a bit bonkers, brandishing sticks at us & then hot-footing it up into the trees. Exciting stuff! Finally, we were hippo chicks once again, cruising down the Nile to the foot of Murchison Falls & floating with the crocodiles. Good times. (That was for you, Al).

It was a great expedition. Sorry for not seeing the tree climbing lions up in the tree! We always spot them in the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth! A Great time. Daniel of Uganda Safaris Expeditions
