Kingfisher, Queen Elizabeth National Park

We had a rainy safari trip this time and came home with a muddy car.

Simon had to get out at the fishing village and put the car in 4WD as we got stuck in the cotton soil. Thankfully between 4WD and differential lock we pulled out of the mud no problem. Unfortunately his sandals and feet paid the price.


A cow and a calf outside a house in the fishing village. Not to far away was the river with hippos bathing in it and men selling fish. Unfortunately getting the car out of the mud was the priority so no pictures of hippos this time.



Difficult to see if this photo as the guide said we couldn't go any closer. A Mother elephant protecting her baby which was wallowing in the mud beside the smaller elephant. The mother elephant was flapping her ears and letting us know of her displeasure at us being so close. We eventually reversed back down the track again and left her in peace.
