Last Wednesday my family and I drove 4 hours south to Murchison Falls Game Reserve. We stayed at the Red Chilli Hideaway. We had the chance to see many different animals.

| A "hartabeast" ready to jump. These were actually pretty big. |
 |
| The road in the game reserve. |
 |
| A family of warthogs in the tall grass. |
 |
| A water buffalo staring at us. These things were huge! |
 |
| Holy smokes that's one big giraffe! |
 |
| Another giraffe. |
 |
| More giraffes. |
 |
| A hippo staring at us. |
 |
| A "goliath heron" - biggest heron in the world! |
 |
| One ginormous hippo's butt! |
 |
| African fish eagle. |
 |
| Red throated bee-eaters. |
 |
| Uganda's national bird - the golden crowned crane. |
 |
| Nile crocodile hiding underneath a tree. These things were scary |
 |
| The falls. |
 |
| Male weaver bird making its nest to attract a female. |
 |
| We're just three boys who are having a good time, having a good time:) |
 |
| Warthog outside our door at the Red Chilli Hideaway. I woke up at 430 in the morning to go use the washroom and stepped outside my door and there was warthog standing right in front of me. This photo was taken at a different time. |
 |
| Elephant family. |
 |
| Another elephant family. |
 |
| 40lb Nile Perch caught by my dad in the Nile River. |

My family might be going to Uganda too! My little boy is 4, he really liked your pictures. It will be amazing for him to see some of these animals he's only seen in books!
ReplyDeleteWow Thomas! Great pictures!!! Looks like you are having the adventure of a lifetime!
ReplyDeleteThese aminals are really cool Thomas. How long did you stay there? Hugh
ReplyDeleteI feel like these photos are something out of a movie, but it isn't a movie. It's your real life! I can't wait to come and you can show me everything!!! Auntie Taya.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be having great adventures every day or two. It sure is wonderful that you can share them with us this way! We're in Michigan right now and I'm going to show this to Aunt Nancy and Callen! Love, Grandma and Graandpa
