Uganda Trip: Day 12

We left early the morning of Day 12 for Murchison Falls National Park for a two day safari in western Uganda. I think it was about a five hour drive there...

Finally made it to the entrance...

When you gotta go, you gotta go. "Some" of us just won't go in here but "some" will go next to here. Sorry to my friend, Autumn, who had to witness that.

The drive from the entrance to our hotel...

We made it to Paraa Lodge - our home for two days! Warm showers and good working toilets are so under-rated! ;-)

After we unpacked & freshened up a bit, we took a boat ride down the Nile River. This was my second time down the Nile but I don't think I could ever tire of the peaceful ride and seeing God's creation up close...

Our boat took us as far as it could go then we got out at one point and met our tour guide for a hike to the Falls. It was great exercise & the scenery was BeAuTiFuL!

Made it back just in time to catch the ferry back to the hotel...

And just in time for dinner. We were starved! They serve an amazing buffet with seafood, salads, desserts, etc.

We saw lots of these little guys running around...

And the adventure to get back into your room at night is always "fun". You have to run down a long, dark hallway that is outdoors, all the while dodging bats swooping at your head. Needless to say, you don't go out at night unless you have to! ;-)
