20th October
We celebrated Linda’s Birthday yesterday(happy B/D Maryanne) by rising at 6am for an early morning safari to take in the animals of the savannah in their natural habitat. After lunch we took a river cruise to the bottom of Murchison Falls. Amazing wildlife along the banks made the 2 hours go quickly. As we were cruising we watched the cloud cover coming—thank you God—which certainly made our walk so much easier. We disembarked The African Queen and proceeded to the top of the falls-amazing scenes on the way. The worst part was the drive back to the lodge as we were wet from the humidity and we had to keep the windows of the van shut due to TseTse flies which were prolific in the area. Back at the lodge we showered and had a leisurely dinner finished with a birthday cake for Linda, organised by Ronald our guide. A full and satisfying day! Today we are enjoying a quiet morning by the pool before a late afternoon game drive. Apart from a few dizzy periods I am much improved and looking forward to a restful morning.
Late afternoon game drive was a little disappointing but we have been very blessed so far so no complaining.
