Today, we made it to Queen Elizabeth park. When we arrived, we had lunch on Lake Edward. I had amazing fresh tilapia fillet and French fries. After lunch, we boarded a boat to do a boat tour of Lake Edward. During our boat ride, we were able to see dozens of elephants. They were all on the shores of the lake to get a drink, splash in the water, and cool themselves off from the hot sun. We also saw many buffalo. For the most part, the buffalo stay in shallow water and have their faces turned towards the shore. They always face the shore in the water because that is how they watch for predators. We also saw a lot up hippos submerged in the water. As we cruised around the lake, we learned a lot about the animals, the hundreds of species of birds, and the history about the national park and lake. After the boat cruise, we headed to our resort. On our drive, we were able to sit on top of our van to get a better view of any animals that we were likely to see. We drove Our view from our room and the reception/restraint area was absolutely breath taking. It looked like something that you would see in a movie. At sunset, we were able to see elephants walking from the open fields. We ate a wonderful dinner and went to bed early so we could get enough sleep for Chimpanzee trekking!
