Friday February 3rd
Yesterday proved to be a very dusty and long journey through Hoima to Murchison Falls taking 11 hours arriving just before night fall. It is a very beautiful place and we feel very privileged to be able to have spent today watching the animals and birds as we journeyed through the park. We woke at 3.30am to the sound of 2 hippos grazing within 10 feet of the banda where we are staying. The highlights during today were probably seeing a spotted hyena, the lovely small Oribi (a very small type of antelope) and the boat trip on the Nile particularly seeing some elephants and some beautiful African Skimmers.
Tomorrow will be another early start as we journey to Gulu through the park.
another world - we are bracing ourselves for snow here on the sunshine coast! If cows sound noisy grazing I can't IMAGINE what hippos sound like!!
