Lion what is your name???

Let me just tell you the safari rocked my world....

Our safari was at Queen Elizabeth National Park which is located in Uganda.



We stayed at the game park for three days! In those three days we went on 6 safaris. We would wake up at 6:00 am to go on our first ride then we would go again at around 5:00pm for our night ride. Here are some animals that we saw during our African Spring Break!

Warthog~ they were EVERYWHERE and they are so funny! Not only did we see them during our safari ride but we could also see them when we walked around our hostel.

Baboons



So many Elephants. I just think that this picture is funny because the elephant is "just" crossing the road


Hippos

Water Buffalo- I hear they are really mean, but I thought they where so cute! They run so funny and I think this one has poop on its head.


I don't know what this is....but there are millions of them; they are beautiful! You can always know when a lion or leopard is around because these deer always just stand around and look at the predators.


These are mongees. They were all over our camp. Jordon and I would stock them around camp. They are funny animals!

Hyenas! We saw Three!

WE SAW SIX LIONS! AMAZING!!!!!
****IN ADDITION, WE SAW a leopard!!!


*This photo was taken when we were all on top of our bus waiting for the leopard to come closer... it never did but it was beautiful!


In addition to our stellar safaris we also went on a two hour boat safari! Jordon and I saw TONS of Hippos and BABY hippos, crocks, along with birds and more birds! We had so much fun!







The beginning of our African Spring Break has been AMAZING! Today after a 12 hour bus ride we are back in Kampala and it feel like home! It is good to be back! Please pray for us as we only have 4 1/2 weeks left and we have many projects! We love you all and miss you all very much!


PS. If Cob reads this blog.....The transfer file worked for a while but 10 minutes after you logged out the file failed b/c the internet quit! I'll try to be on the Internet a lot so that I could maybe get that song for my project Thank You!
