Well, the Murchison camping was great, but we had to cut it short by one day. Because of that, we didn't get to actually see the falls, but we went on two great game drives, where we sat on the roof rack! We saw water buffalo, waterbucks, cob, hartebeests, hippos, warthogs (which lived at our campbsite), Orbei (little antelopes), Maribu Storks (that look like terradactyls), fantastic birds (including many Kingfishers), and tons of giraffes.
There weren't any attacking monkeys, but there was a water buffalo, who figured that he just wasn't going to move for our car. Luckily, we didn't force the buffalo to a decision, and it decided that it wasn't worth it, but supposedly those lone water buffalo are bad news.
At the campsite, we had many warthogs, Maribu Storks, and a HUGE HIPPO! The reason that there was so much game in our camp was because the place that we stayed in, called "The Red Chili Rest Camp", was actually inside the park.
Okay, I know that you're wondering why we had to cut the trip short, and the link below will describe in further detail, but here's my version:
Kenya recently had a very corrupt election and was probably rigged. Post-election riots errupted after the election, and it has become so violent that the border to Uganda has been completely closed. We can't get any oil because we are a land-locked country, and the petrol that comes in by sea, can't get to us cheaply without coming through Kenya.
We've got some great pictures for you, but they are on the sidebar. Check them out!
