An ugly warthog!! I love them, though. Cute in their own silly, stupid way. :)
How incredible is the sky?? I really feel like it is closer to the ground somehow.
We didn't get too close to the lions. They were so beautiful!!!
Do you see the leopard?
Hippos everywhere!
This elephant literally climbed a hill- straight up. So weird! I didn't know they could do that.
Water buffalo and hippo chillin in the Nile.
Look at the giraffe!
This elephant charged and "yelled" at us!
These cobs are the Ugandan animal. There's a pic of them on their flag. I love flags.
After two weeks in the field both teams met up for a safari at Murchinson Falls, Uganda. We hadn’t seen the other team since our first day in Kampala and we were really excited to play with them and take a break from the crazy, hectic work schedule in Nakaseke.
I didn’t really know what to expect from Murchinson Falls. I’ve always heard about the beautiful and amazing safaris in Kenya and Tanzania, but never Uganda. The landscape where we had been is so lush, green and tropical and all of the pics of African safaris always showed savannas and open spaces. What was this “safari” going to be like, really?
IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!
We arrived Friday night and played with the teams. It was so great to all be together again. The next morning we headed out at 6am (Ouch! What happened to our restful weekend??) for our safari. My goodness did we have an amazing time! We saw countless cobs (Ugandan deer), hartebeest, warthogs (If I was a young warthog!”), a million giraffes, a leopard, two lions, elephants everywhere (one actually charged us!), baboons, pretty birds, hippos, and crocodiles (yikes!). There was never a single frame in view that didn’t have some kind of animal. I loved it. If you’re ever in Uganda you must check it out. I still can’t believe how incredible it was.

African safaris are unbelievable - there's nothing else like them. I especially like how warthogs run with their tails sticking straight up in the air.
Sounds like you're generally having a great time, and it will probably only get better.
A wart hog that looks like it came right out of an Asterix comic! African pictures always seem to have this amazing luminous quality about them...now I realize it is because the sky is closer to the ground :)
Keep the pictures coming! oh and remember to bring back recipes of Ugandan cuisine...regardless of how sick you are of it.
Hey kiddo, this is Bruce across from your mom and dad in Garden Grove.
What an incredible sky view, and i think the warthogs are great.
Love the elephant too.

the elephant really does it for me.
