The Nile as you approach Murchison Falls. In some ways the lovely green valley reminded us a bit of the Tamar except the trees are wrong and then we spotted this big crocodile!!
Me at the top of the falls getting wet.....was Rob saying 'back a bit..back a bit!' ???
The regulation photo of the rainbow over the falls. We drove to the top to look down! The noise of the water and the spray was amazing.
We went to see the bottom of the falls on a boat trip. it is very green in the valley with the spray from the falls. Oddly another couple on the boat who were also volunteering in Uganda were living in Launceston and he was one of the people that set up the CFE in Saltash....small world!
We stayed at Paraa Lodge - the view from our room. Did you know more people are killed by hippos in Africa than any other animal?!! This one was grazing happily early morning maybe looking for the swimming pool which was being rebuilt!
Murchison Falls National Park is the largest protected area in Uganda. It is in the far northwest and had some security problems but seems OK now. It has many giraffe. We drove in through forest north of Budongo where the charity has a project and this part of the park is savannah.
This is the ferry from one side of the Nile to the other! While we were waiting for the ferry there was some excitement, the game rangers spotted a dead hippo floating like a huge inflatable toy down the river! It had obviously been in the water some time going by the smell that wafted across! The rangers jumped in a boat to inspect it and came back saying it had been speared.
