GAME DRIVE & MURCHISON FALLS

Team Uganda 2012 had an early start this morning starting with a game drive through the park, viewing animals very much in their natural environment and searching for movements of animals through the long grass on either side of the safari tracks.

This afternoon they have been to Murchison Falls (a geography paradise), also known as Kabarega Falls. At the top of Murchison Falls the Nile forces its way through a 7 metre gap in the rock and tumbles 43 metres through the gorge before flowing west into Lake Albert. It is hydraulic power... in action!

The group have seen hippos, elephants, giraffes and crocodiles to name a few animals!

The group went on a boat trip close to the falls (see image below) and it was 'awesome!' What a great way to finish off a sensational expedition!
