We took the weekend to rest and relax at Lake Mburo National Park, about an hour and a half from our place at the Timothy Centre.
It is a small, peaceful game park that we have often visited and know well…but each time there seems to be a new surprise of some sort. This time, we were barely inside the park when we came across a large gathering of vultures and Maribou storks finishing off the remains of an animal kill.
These are sure efficient ‘rubbish removers’ but still not the most pleasant of animals to view. Thankfully, we saw many other beautiful animals, including the shy and quite rare bushbuck…
…large herds of impala…
…and many zebra.
The warthogs are everywhere, including the area around the lakeside restaurant, and they can get pretty ornery if they think you are encroaching on their grazing patch.
Somehow they seemed not to mind Karl too much, though.
All in all, a great getaway to recharge our batteries, enjoy creation, and celebrate Father’s Day!
