Murchison Falls

Another early morning (it is not a sleep away holiday). Off we went in a smaller van since our truck is not allowed to come in to the Murchison Fall where we were going today. 

In the morning we did a gam drive and got to see lots of animals. But to get there we drove on a red sand road that never seam to end and then we had to take a small ferry over the river Nile. 

In the beginning we saw mainly buck, waterbuck, Ugandan kob, red Heartbeest and a small one that I don't recall the name of. Well, not to forget the group of Buffaloes on the way into the park.

We also saw lots and lots of both giraffes and elephants, more Buffaloes and some other odds and ends. It was a great drive.

We got on the ferry back and went towards the Murchison Falls, the actual waterfalls. It is not big, but very powerful falls. On the way there we got hit by a massive hailstorm. The driver wasn't sure he could make it to the falls, but suddenly he stopped and said we were there. 

It was a quick visit, because we were now a bit delayed and we had more interesting and exciting things on the agenda.

We were going chimpanzee tracking. Same idea as for the gorillas, but different ape. Chimpanzees are more difficult to find since they often stay high up in the trees and they also move,very fast. However we came across a group after a while. They did stay very high up and was a bit difficult to see, but it was still a great moment.

While I was staying there some of my groups was talking louder and louder until I realised they were talking to me - they where actually telling me I was getting peed on! Too late! As we got out of the forest I also got to know I was pooped on as well. Not the most pleasant, but hey, how often will you be peed and pooped on by a chimpanzee?!

Another successful day was to an end.
