Visiting Uganda day 5-8 (Safari) Part one

From 2018/03/28 to 2018/03/31 we went to Safari to the Murchisan National Park.
We started at 7 c'clock in the morning and reached our goal at 19:30. So it was a very long ride. Lot time for thinking and impressions (see also my blog bring it to the critical mass!)
Here one can see boda-drivers. They wore jackets. I could not understand, we where dressed in t-shirts and felt warm.

We took a break at a gas station. At the wall to it were three boys. One of them is called Gideon. We talked a little bit and I gave each of them an egg. They even wanted to have the plastic rubbish.

Here one can see a village. Sometimes these houses have solar power on their roof. It looks a little displaced.

These cows belong to some farmers:

As I already told it was very hot and I'm not used to that temperature and I could get very poor sleep. We got up bevor sunrise to see the animals in the morning.
I took a lot of pictures with my smartphone. My daughters made much better pictures. I think I can convince them to bring them on steemit, so I will resteem it here.

The safari began with an accident of another car, that has kieled over. I took no picture because I don't want to be a catastrophic tourist. But we had the problem to go beside it and so we very nearly also slipped into the ground. All in the car moved to the left side to balance it.

Then we came to the murchisan falls (see also first picture above). Very impressive!

Water from 35 meter high difference go through 7 m width. I made the joke, that this is a good place for a power plant, so we can mine bitcoin with it. The sad truth is, that is planned in reality to build a powerplant here.
Here we have a picture of the sausage tree (Leberwurst-Baum). The fruit is often full of alcohol and the animals get drunken from it:

The green bus was ours. We crossed the Nile with this ferry.

This is it so far from part one. In the next days I'm going to send more pictures from our safari. So stay tuned.
