Bushikori

tomorrow is the last day for us at BCC - Suze and I feel like we have seen and done so much but really you could spend a life time here and still feel like you want to do more. The staff at Bushikori have welcomed us with open arms and made us feel so at home, we are really going to miss them all especially those of them in the child care department because spending our days with them they have become our unoffical Ugandan guides and interpreters as they answer all our questions not only about BCC but everything else that crosses out minds.
for those not already in the know we are heading to Kampala on thursday morning and picking up a LandRover County then driving it up into northern Uganda to visit the Murchison Falls national park. the area is not exactly a tourist hot spot due to the LRA using the surrounding area as a hiding spot for the last couple of decades but they are safely hidden in the Sudan for the moment while peace talks are deliberated so the McLean girls will make the most of the cease-fire to go and visit the most beautiful (and prolific in wildlife) national park Uganda has on offer. there are many places you can camp in the park and it is quite safe so long as you have a vehicle to shelter in incase of an elephant stampede or late night lion visits - some of the camp sites are out in the middle of nowhere (or on the top of nowhere - there is a campsite apparently right at the top of Murchison Falls with an awesome rook pool safe for swimming that we intend to check out) and then some are situated in the grounds of plush resorts with thier facilities available to you. but they are all cheap
we will talk to you all from there!!
