My charities & safari expedition to Uganda (picture heavy)

[Miss Z]

African Fish Eagles were easily my favourite birds to see and many could be spotted in the trees along the Kazinga Channel.





Now onto the other animals in the National Park:

Elephant:









Cape Buffalo:







More on the way....

[Miss Z]

Waterbuck:







Ugandan Kob:





Warthog:





And these were Giant Forest Hogs, sighted much less often than the warthog. We were lucky to glimpse them from the Kazinga Channel.



Nile Crocodile and Monitor Lizards were the most spectacular reptiles seen on the Kazinga Channel.





Still a few more!!...

Hippo:







We saw three species of primate in the National Park; Vervet Monkey:



Olive Baboon:



and Black and White Colobus, a species very shy and considered hard to see:



Undoubtedly, the attraction for all was the chance of seeing a lion in the wild. With only 250 lions left in all the expanse of Queen Elizabeth's National Park, we were advised not to be disappointed if we couldn't find any.

But we were lucky.





That is all I will post here (thoroughly exhausted now! ). If you wish to see more of my photos, plus a few videos of the kids at the primary school, they are all on my facebook page.

I do hope you've enjoyed this thread and that I've given you a little flavour of such a magnificent country. I truly am privileged to have had the experience.
