Ok, so here are the pictures from our game drives at Murchison Falls. Enjoy!
Safari!!!
Weaver birds make ball-shaped nests in the trees
Water buck- another kind of gazelle. This is the only animal besides cats and crocs that have no natural predators in the park. Lions won't eat them because the meat smells. (Love it when BO becomes a defense mechanism!)
Watch out behind you love birds!
A family of warthogs. They look like black pigs with mullets are warthogs. They very well may be the ugliest animal God has created! They really are called pumbaa in Swahili, and if you've ever seen The Lion King, you know exactly what they look like when they move.

Monitor lizard on the bank of the Nile
This is as close to the waterfall as you can get from the water side- You approach from down-river and get about half a mile away from it.
Jackson Hartebeast (a REALLY ugly, really skinny kind of gazelle)
Fish Eagle 
male Uganda cob (a gazelle that is all over Murchison-- we definitely saw more cob than anything else!)
female Uganda cob in the savannah
Doesn't this look like The Lion King?
yikes...it is as it appears
A flock of crested cranes, the national bird and symbol. It's really unusual to see this many at one time- you normally just get one or two. That's a Uganda cob in the background.
Cape Buffalo
Look at that Baboon...
...hanging out on the SUV...
... taking it easy on the bench

... taking it easy on the bench For since the creation of the world
God's invisible qualities- His eternal power and divine nature-
have been clearly seen, being understood from
what has been made. We are without excuse!

apparently the giraffes didn't pay attention in the True Love Waits class =)
My wife and I enjoy your blog and we're praying for you. We've just started the IMB application process for the ISC program.
Hope all is well in Africa!
