Africa Tour 2010

So I started out on the scenic route home by getting into Uganda 2 hours early. Yeah that has never happened on a flight before but I guess there's a first time for everything. The next day we headed down to Murchison Falls Game Park. We had lots of fun and got to see plenty of animals. A Cape Buffalo would even come by the window to our room every night....we would see the tracks in the morning. The trip included a river boat ride where I saw too many hippos to count.


Of course I had to get lots of pictures of my favorite animal....


Ok, we found this lion at the end of the second day. It was awesome and obviously we were really close. As we were watching her, she locked in on some antelope in a field near by, starting walking over there, and got in a crouch. I was flipping out because I just knew I was gonna see my first kill. I was so pumped....and I realize that this makes me sound heartless...but when you're right there in the moment...you want to see it happen. And I immediately began humming The Circle of Life. Well, she sat there for a minute, toying with my emotions and then decided she wasn't hungry and walked away. Come on!!! Eat already!
