Safari

Water buffalo
Thanks to the generosity of some good friends we spent the first few days of our vacation time this month on safari at Kidepo Valley National Park in the far northeastern region of Uganda.  Since coming to live in Uganda seven years ago, we had never been on safari together as a family.  Thankfully our kids are old enough now to really enjoy getting to see all of the animals.  They got excited anytime we saw something moving in the grass as we drove along, and I think they all expected to see a lion start chasing a zebra at any moment!

Supper around our little hut

The scenery of the park was as stunning as seeing all of the animals.  The valley is surrounded by low mountain ranges which were a beautiful backdrop as we watched the rain rolling in or the sun setting.  Our campground in the middle of the park held small round huts or places to camp with a tent.  There was no fence around the campground so we saw zebra, jackals, warthogs, and waterbuck all roaming freely around the little huts!  



We had a wonderful time together as a family seeing the beauty of God's creation.  Thank you, friends, for helping make this time possible!
