Murchison Falls, Uganda . January 2011


Guest Vignette by Peter Benhur Nyeko

A few miles from the mist of the roaring falls, Don Jorge the jungle giraffe and his gangly Rothchilds junta, having just stuffed themselves silly on a grazing fiesta, steal a pre-sunset savannah siesta betwixt the elephant palms. Harry the haughty hornbill and his chum Hernandez take their evening stroll past a graceful gazelle as the fading sunlight shimmers off their shiny plumage. Bambi the bushbuck toddler saunters onto the track and freezes, perplexed at the huge four legged people carrier roaring towards him. Lady Doe looks up from her grassy high tea, nods out to him and bolts for the shrubbery. Gulu, Kitgum, and Lamwo await.
