We are back from Safari, all present and accounted for except for...no that's right, we all made it back!
It was a long 2 days of travel in a squeaky, bumpy, noisy Toyota van, but we manged to make it to Murchison Falls National Park in order to do a river safari and animal safari. Both were fantastic as we got to see giraffes, elephants, warthogs, hippos and many more. On our first day we even had the opportunity to hike up to the mouth of the Falls, it was a long, hot hike but it was definite worth it (check out the pictures!). We spent our night in some cozy little banda's, that are pretty much one room huts with a bed and mosquitoe net. For many of us it was a great nights sleep, with the only sounds coming from the crickets and other animals in the distance.
Enjoy the pictures, I am sure team members will be sharing many more when they return (Schafer mentioned how many pictures he had of elephants, over and over again).

Schafer, in all his glory!

Elephants. Also included a rear profile!

A pair of crocodiles or a pair of new cowboy boots?

Murchison Falls (up close!)

We learned not to feed my son Jesse while traveling 80 km/hr on a bumpy Ugandan road!

Glad to hear you made it with no unforeseen hitches. I'm excited about your work with the clinic and where this is going to go. We'll be praying for wisdom and discernment for you as you think through all that is involved. Loved the pictures! Great memories of people of and places. By the way, Ana got married yesterday - a great celebration. I'm sure the kids who remember her will love to hear that. God bless. We look forward to your updates. Ray
