woke up late...no time to blog about the past week before we leave for the safari, so i will just have to leave ya'll waiting in suspense! we are leaving in 15 minutes and the drive to queen elizabeth park is about 6 or 7 hours. i have a feeling it is going to be a very scenic drive though so i bet it will go fast!
if i don't get eaten by a hungry-hungry hippo, i'll blog once i am back in Kampala on Monday.
fun fact we learned from our roomate: hippos, elephants etc that are in parks around here each have several individuals whose job it is to simply walk around by the animal with AK47 guns to protect the each animal from poachers. when tourists (like us) come around, the guards keep a distance.

  1. Thank those guards for what they do... and then persuade them to let you bring home a baby elephant for me! That's all I want for a souvenir ;)

    Love ya!
