Post Safari

So…we are currently in Kampala hanging out with our new Italian friends that took us on Safari, Davide and Francesco. We went to Murchinson Falls, a national park in North western Uganda, it was amazing, I will let the guys tell most of the details, but in a nutshell we bush camped 10 foot from the nile!

Hippos were one of the most popular guests to our tent site at night…it was breath taking. It’s so amazing, in fact my awe of God increased while in that place. Seeing his creations, and being surrounded by them is unforgettable.

It was such a special blessing to be able to be so close to the Nile, a source of life for so many. Also the place where we camped was also considered a NO-GO area just 3 years ago because of insurgents from the war. We had a really cool guide named Henry that told us so many interesting stories and let us take pics with his Ak-47!

Before the Safari though we toured the Invisible Children office in GULU!! It was such an organized office, they are doing spectacular things there, we actually met a girl there who is working there as the communication director, named Erika, she went to Miami and knows Katie Aiken from high school…small world.

We also went to the this really amazing non-profit café in Gulu that Travis discovered, it was created by the country director of Invisible Children Jolie Oket, the food was amazing and the place was just so cool, going there was definitely a huge highlight to my trip here. We all got special bracelets that are only available at the office in Gulu…Invisible Children rocks…if any one of you reading hasn’t seen the film Invisible Children, please go rent it tonight!

Anyways I gotta go, there is so much more to say but things are too exciting here to stay online…I’ll be in touch.
Peace n love
