There less than 2 months left until we head back to the US, so we’re trying to squeeze in a lot of weekend trips these days. This weekend, we headed to Lake Mburo (my third time). On our way into the park, we saw Uganda’s national bird, the crested crane, up close.

Tons of warthogs everywhere. I love their mullets, and the way their tails stick straight up when they run.
