Last Safari!

Here is the most spectacular view from a pool or a bath we have ever had.......across the Karamoja plains watching herds of...not wildebeeste but Jacksons Hartebeeste, zebra, buffalo, jackals, waterbuck, Patas monkeys, it was great! The pool was cut out of the rocks and looked over towards the moutains on the Sudan border. Our last safari was going to be good!



Last weekend we were able to book a flight to Kidepo National Park, the most remote of the parks up on the northern border of Uganda with Sudan. It was wonderful staying at
Apoka Lodge, the only one in the park.As you can see the views over the Karamoja plains were spectacular...from the banda, the outside bath, the pool...everywhere! We saw lots of animals and birds, many while we were sitting in the bar! You can just see the buffalo near our banda!


We were able to do several game drives and saw the lions again after eating a buffalo so they were lying quietly, ignoring us completely looking fat and full! Lots of birds to add to my list! We went on a night drive and saw Cerval cats and a Genet cat.....quite unusual. We were also able to go on walks and saw these hartebeeste....what will we see back in Saltash????
