We started our 2 day safari getting picked up at 6:45 to leave on our 6 hour journey to Murchison Falls National Park. As Allen, Taylor, Sarah, Rebecca, and I piled in the van, we had not idea what we were about to experience. To Jackson's satisfaction (our driver), we made the 2:00 ferry to cross the Nile.
As soon as we arrived at the lodge, we were greeted with cool rags and a glass of fresh juice. We didn't even take time to drop our bags before headed to eat lunch. The lodge was incredible... I could spend a few nights here for sure.
We had about 15 minutes to drop everything off and meet Jackson for our game run. We met Tegris (only the best safari guide ever...) and hopped back in our safari van.
As we took a 5 hour drive out on the savannah, we experienced God's creation up close and personal.
Even after many prayers from our crew, "Lord, please feed your lions!" And even playing a few theme songs from Lion King, no lion sightings. So, that means a 5:40 am game run for one more chance.
We came back to a buffet feast and a cozy bed. Yes, a panoramic shot of 3 twin beda inside our mosquito nets. Unreal.
Although the night was short, it was totally worth it. We had numerous conversations about how small we felt out in God's vast creation that sings His praises!
"You are the LORD, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you." Nehemiah 9:6
