Lions, Elephants, & Giraffes OH MY

On Saturday morning we said our goodbyes to sweet sweet Coleson who runs the Misindi Hotel.  PMI chose this hotel because of its facilities and security.  It was perfect for us, and Coleson was a fantastic chef.  She took especially good care of Kenneth Grey and his allergy.

 We drive from Masindi to Paara Lodge in Murchison Falls.  This place was unreal and such a treat for the very tired team.  We enjoyed an afternoon of relaxation and went on a game drive together.  It was exactly what you'd imagine Africa to be like times 1,000!!!

We all got to ride on the tops of the vans for best viewing

We saw all types of animals!!

Water buffalo....the 2nd most dangerous animal in the park

It started to rain during our game drive

SOOO many elephants.  At one point we were totally surrounded by elephants!! 

And even a lion!!

Baboons were everywhere....and they are thieves (says our driver) 

The Giraffes were our favorites!

Hippos on the Nile River.  The most dangerous animal

Even an albino Hippo!!

Gigantic Crocks

And this is why the park is called Murchison Falls.....

Tomorrow we say goodbye to our team
