Team Uganda 2012 have experienced a long journey up to Murchison Falls today from Jinja... 7 hours was the predicted journey time, but it was more realistically 11 hours, but remember......TIA ("THIS IS AFRICA" as we taught students before they departed LP!) The team eventually made it to the Murchison Falls National Park entrance at 3pm (local time) after stopping for lunch in Masindi and it took the group a further two hours to get into the depths of the National Park (roads were waterlogged in places due to intense convectional rainfall)!
At 7pm (UK time) I am pleased to write that all students were reported as being in their beds after enjoying supper in the restaurant (see image below), and they are now no doubt either sleeping, or listening to the sound of hippos in the distance! It will be an early start tomorrow morning! It is a beautiful setting and they certainly deserve the rest and excitement coming up tomorrow.
