Michael Ross

This post is partially to test out the video function on here, and partially to show you the dancing skill that is Michael Ross of Uganda. The video doesn't quite capture it. This was at the Rwandan Liberation Day concert. They brought in popular musicians from all over the region, but Michael Ross was definitely the highlight. 

I'm Back and Notes on a Safarii

I realize it's been a while since I last wrote. In short, the past two weeks were extremely busy, but both the VIP event and the National Screening were huge successes. I am back in the USA and at home in Arkansas.

I wanted to post a few highlight pictures for you to see some of what I did in the past two weeks.

The pictures in this post are from Akagera National Park in Rwanda. I went with a few others from our team on a mini safari for the weekend. It was great. 

The team at Akagera with our guide:

The waterbuffalo, which we found right before they went into "hiding" for the dry season.

A nice view

Our giraffe!! He was hiding, but then we found him. I don't know how, though. We were much closer to him at times than this picture shows.

A hippo!

Das Zebras

And, finally, really ugly baboons that were all over the road toward our lodge. 

We also saw warthogs (go Hogs!), antelope, various primates, a stork, and briefly spotted a crocodile as it swam away. 

One last shot with our guide and Sam the driver.

And the view from the lodge at sunrise. Over the lake is Tanzania.
