Message: <blockquote data-quote="Swissboy" data-source="post: 3517912" data-attributes="member: 4926">Murchison Falls NP is actually not far enough north for many savanna bird species. They would best have to be searched at Kidepo NP, but visiting there would require several days more. Day five for us was mostly on the road driving to Kibale NP.  But first, we visited the top of the falls. In many ways, that was more impressive than the view from the boat where one just did not get close enough. Along the way to Kibale NP, we had another flat tire. Actually, Brian, our driver, had earlier already noticed some loss of air in that tire. So we had it repaired locally, and a second previously existing patch was redone as well. Nevertheless, one of those patches had given way again later. Good thing our replacement spare tire had made it in time to Pakwach/Murchison Falls. But this tire change offered a great chance to be a bit more in contact with the local people and kids away from the main tourist route. So the delay was actually a most welcome event for us who did not have to do the work. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> The young lady with the long piece of wood kindly let me take her picture. We always admired the art of carrying loads on the head.</blockquote>
