23 July - Murchison Falls Game Reserve



Martin and Solomon wanted to take us to Murchison Falls Game Park today. It was wonderful, but also very tiring, as we were away for about 15 hours. We drove through the south entrance of the park which is heavily forested. There we saw lots of baboons. There are also opportunities to trek for chimpanzees (we did not have time). We drove to the top of Murchison Falls) – it is probably the most powerful falls I have ever seen. Then we took the ferry over the Victoria Nile to the north side of the park (Paraa). We ate at the lodge were I stayed in November, then found a game trekker to ride with us to find animals. We saw many giraffes, some elephants, water buck, Jackson’s herdabeasts, kobs, hippos, water buffalo, wart hogs, jackals, and beautiful birds. As we traveled, we got to know more about each other and talked about the workshop and more details of our project.
