Project Trip: Murchison Falls (Take Two)

At the end of the trip, we stopped off for one night to stay at Murchison Falls National Park. I am privileged because I got to go here back in September after my first project trip. Here are the photos from the first time we went. This time, unfortunately, we didn't have time to hike up the falls.

These are the photos from this time around. [I didn't take a lot of them. I am thankful that there were a lot of fancy cameras taking really good pictures that we all shared afterward.]

Enjoy!

A pretty neat looking tree.

More trees and landscape.

This was the type of dirt road that we were driving on throughout the afternoon.

Antelope looking thing #1.

Giraffe!

Antelope looking thing #2.

We encountered this heard of like twenty elephants. We followed them around for a while. It was amazing!

We found two lions sleeping lazily in the grass. We got really close (see next picture), but they didn't seem to concerned with us.

A picture of our van from the other van. We were probably only 15 feet from the lions with nothing between us...and yes, some of us were sitting up on the roof.

A shot of our safari van from the other.

This was my seat for the trip. We had a pretty good time back there.

A couple of Ugandan fishermen catching fish with nets on Lake Albert. The mountains in the distance are actually in the DR Congo. The little black things in the foreground are hippos.

These hippos woke us up at night while they were grazing next to our cabins. The guys next door to us woke up and snapped some photos of my cabin. My bed is up against that window of the cabin in the shot.

And then we had a couple of "Pumbas" join us as we ate breakfast the next morning. It was a pretty cool experience.
