some sights and sounds of uganda! =)

the course has been busy here with research and reports and presentations, but it’s not all work and no play... we’ve definitely been blessed with opportunities to see some of the beauty uganda has to offer! (and it sure is nice to get away from the city sometimes!)

siipi falls... just outside of mbale

and inside the falls...


and a few days ago we took a nice little boat ride in lake victoria...

to ngamba island!!

where it’s a chimpanzee conservation area

cute little guys...


and in kampala, we’ve been north of the equator, and ngamba islands is south...

so we had to jump in and swim across the equator! (we didn’t have our swimsuits... but we figured clothes dry quick enough in africa)

the equator swim club... bjønar (norway), nailoke (namibia), chantille (canada), lars (norway) and me =) (and heidi too but she missed the picture!)

and last but not least... we took a trip this weekend to

murchison falls, uganda’s biggest nature conservation area... with lions and tigers and bears, oh my!! actually, i think we’re on the wrong continent for tigers and bears, but we got to go on a game drive and saw one lion! no ligers either, but some more typical african animals! =)


giraffes

and elephants

and hippos

and crocodiles

and buffalos..

...and pumbaa!!

im really so blessed to have been to *two* safaris, once already in tanzania and now in uganda too!

boat ride up the nile

top of the falls...

looking back down the nile

and looking out to Congo =)

we’re going to be doing another field research project on VEDCO (vounteer efforts for development concerns) this week while staying in kampala... working on group reports & presentations the week after... and final exam... and then it’s soon pretty much time to come home!! it’ll be quick few weeks im sure... well hope you guys are all doing well... take care & talk to you again soon!! =)
