Queen Elizabeth National Park

Spent the weekend in Queen Elizabeth National Park, in south western Uganda with Marika and our driver Julius.
 It was amazing!
We saw zebra, lion, elephant, water buck, cob, hippo, croc, lion, leopard and also Timon and Pumba :)

Got some really nice pictures of most of the species. Can't upload any now, but they are coming...

Now, me and Marika will spend two days in Kampala before going home to Sweden.
Today we're meeting with Sandra -a Swedish girl, now living here in Kampala.

One week in Masaka and Kyamulibwa

Now we've been about one week in Masaka and Kyamulibwa. Everything has been really great (except the Internet availability) :)
The nature and all the people are wonderful! Never want to go home.

Last weekend we went to Nabugabo lake, a lake separated from lake Victoria and thereby, no Schistosoma :) Beautiful views, nice fish from and even some kayakers in the lake.

This tuesday, it was the 50th Independence day for Uganda, which we celebrated by going to Ambiance night club with our supervisors Lasse and Asiki. Night life here is very much the same as in Sweden, with the exception that here I am not one of the shortest people...

During the working days, we've been out in the field with different teams, gotten answers to a lot of questions and also, had time to write a bit on our reports. All the staff members of the MRC has been really nice and helpful. -Thank a lot! :)

So,  tomorrow it's mine and Marika's last day at the MRC in Kyam, and hopefully we will then have got all we need for our projects and this weekend we will spend in Queen Elizabeth National Park, going on a safari :)
The last days, before going home on tuesday -we will spend in Kampala.
