And there she is, The River Nile floating from the source in Jinjja all the way up to Alexandria in Egypt stretching almost 7000Km. First runner up are, no big surprise there, hippos with literally thousands of hippos, they are guaranteed to be found yawning to show who’s in charge, their little tails working it like propellers to spread their dung, marking territory… lets not get too close. Our part of the Nile goes straight through Murchison NP, and we start our journey down stream and our goal is the impressive Murchison falls. On a smaller private boat we have our privacy and can quietly get closer to the animals along the way whilst sipping a glass of cool white wine or why not have a Nile (beer) on the Nile, and some delicious snacks along the way. Slowly making our way up the Nile with a nice breeze cooling us down we pass an abundant of wildlife, crocodiles sunbathing on the shore.

Families of elephants coming down to drink and cool of in the water, buffaloes and waterbuck… We see foam building up on the surface of the water and the current is picking up, we are getting closer to the falls, we are passing the landmark where the famous writer Ernest Hemingway crashed in a plane, surviving and sometime later crashing again, surviving again, the black and white Colobus monkeys sitting in the canopies, and there she is, Murchison falls. The birdlife here is amazing the small but oh so colourful kingfishers, bee-eaters fishing herons and fish eagles there is no end to it… Website = photosociety.net Page 25 email = magazine@photosociety.net
