Born Free Redux The Cape Crusades - Part IV Story & Photos by Louise Orlando and Andrew Barbour
When the Ugandan border guard stamped our passports to make our escape from Zaire complete, we kissed the ground - literally. Freed from the mud, bugs, and cloying jungle of the Ituri rainforest, our spirits took wing again. Ahead lay the fabled Mountains of the Moon and Uganda, once described by Winston Churchill as the “Pearl of Africa.” After a month in Zaire, we were physically and mentally exhausted. We decided to recharge our batteries at Lake Mburo, one of Uganda’s lesser-known national parks. It consists of classic African grassland, dotted with thorn trees and thickets of scrub. At its center lies Lake Mburo itself, home to crocodiles, a large hippo population, and myriad birds. We set up camp on the banks of the lake, pulled out our lawn chairs and kicked back. We were the only visitors in the park. Over the next 10 days, herds of zebra, antelope, and Cape buffalo flowed past the tent, a moveable feast for eyes tired of bogholes and rotted bridges. At night, we could hear the animals grazing just feet from the tent, their teeth cropping the sweet grasses. Even the threat of being trampled to death in our tent by a two-ton hippo could not persuade us to move our camp. And when a rifle-toting ranger stopped by to warn us that he had seen leopard tracks near the camp, it served only to increase our excitement. This was how we had imagined our trip—the Africa of Born Free, with us in our Series II <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Rover</strong> watching game on the golden savannah. We moved on only when our bodies reinvigorated and our supplies were exhausted. From Lake Mburu, we headed north to Murchison Falls, a much larger national park that lay close to the border with Sudan. Here, on its winding course from Lake Victoria to Egypt, the mighty Nile is forced into a narrow gorge before crashing down Murchison Falls. Only the southern [Louise Orlando and Andrew Barbour, Cape Charles, VA, took their 1960 Series II from London to Capetown 16 years ago. This is the final chapter in their remarkable trip –ed.]
