Well it was bound to happen and so eventually of course it did. I got malaria and it was awful on every level imaginable. I won’t get into the gory details, but I was confined to my bed for several days. When I finally emerged out of my feverish state I had to get out of my room and into the open for a breath of fresh air. One of the best parts about living in Uganda is the magnificent wildlife and impressive game parks. This giraffe and I are at Murchison Falls National Park, which is located north of the capital city, Kampala. I was also able to see elephants, water buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, water bucks, warthogs, baboons and a wide variety of bird life among other wildlife during this particular trip. It was a much needed and refreshing break.
