Introduction to today's journey
Today's journey takes me into Queen Elizabeth II Park where we go on safari finding numerous elephants and other herbivores, and look into the occasional salt pan. In the afternoon we take a cruise along the edge of a channel joining two lakes where many thousands of animals wallow.
Today's Journey
 |
An impala very close by as we follow one of the dirt roads heading through the park. |
 |
A pair of birds on a mound. |
 |
A hyeena hunting gazelles. |
 |
Looking over the edge of a crater formed through the splitting of the continent in the rift valley. Water fills the bottom of the crater forming a salt lake. The terraces have been built to harvest the salt. |
 |
An elephant that has been wallowing and now come back up to the foliage to eat. |
 |
A Nile crocodile relaxes in a boggy pool. |
 |
A hippo in the Kazinga Channel between Lakes Edward and George. There is a lot of wildlife here in the channel, so we take a boat trip along it. |
 |
A yellow billed stork foraging the shallows along the edge of the channel. |
 |
Two huge elephants walking along the low bank at the edge of the channel. |
 |
We return to our ecolodge to watch this spectacular African sunset. |
