Murchison Falls Game Drives

A few minutes from our lodge at dawn.

We were staying right in the park (remember next to Idi Amin’s former lodge with the leopard), so every trip we took was a game drive, but we did at least two lengthy outings. Unfortunately we never spotted any lions, and the only drama were a few scrapes between Kob bucks, but no photos of it. Thanks to our guide John, who helped me identify the animals.

Gaddafi Mosque

On our last day of vacation, we were in Kampala and toured the Gaddaffi Mosque. It is the largest mosque in East Africa. Quoting from Wikipedia:

The Uganda National Mosque is a mosque located at Kampala Hill in the Old Kampala area of Kampala, Uganda. Completed in 2006, it seats up to 15,000 worshipers and can hold another 1,100 in the gallery, while the terrace will cater for another 3,500. Colonel Muammar Gaddafi of Libya commissioned the mosque as a gift to Uganda, and for the benefit of the Muslim population. Uganda has many mosques but this one is a skyscraper mosque.[1]

The completed mosque was opened officially in June 2007 under the name Gaddafi National Mosque, and housed the head offices of the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council.[2] It was renamed “Uganda National Mosque” in 2013 following the death of Colonel Gaddafi as the new Libyan administration was “reluctant to rehabilitate the mosque under the old name.”[

The mosque was gorgeous.

OK, for some reason, I can’t get Dave’s vertical photos to rotate. You have to crane your neck or rotate your smart phone until I figure out how to fix it. The caretakers required Karen to cover up more before entering.

View of Kampala from the top of the mosque

This a throw-in not from our tour. Last weekend my cohort met for a “Final Countdown” in Fort Portal. Some of us hiked around a crater lake. This particular view is the source of the back of the 20,000 shilling note ($6 US). Thanks to Danielle for the photo better than mine.
