Baboon Troup (Papio cynocephalus)<br />
When writing about crusing on the river in such a<br />
location, it is easy to get so focussed on the wild life<br />
that we forget that there is more to the scene than<br />
animals.<br />
There is also an abundance of aquatic plantlife and<br />
birds. I mention them here because I did not want<br />
you to think I had forgotten them.<br />
Fact is that I will be looking at them in another<br />
article.<br />
It may have been noticed that I left the best until<br />
last, the iconic image of the African Elephant<br />
(Loxodonta africana).<br />
African Elephant (Loxodonta africana)<br />
But pride of place must go to the grandmother of the<br />
Nile Crocodiles on the Victoria Nile in Murchison<br />
National Park.<br />
I hope you enjoyed this brief glimpse of the larger<br />
wildlife, Next month I will be looking at the many<br />
birds that could be seen.<br />
Visiting Murchison is not a right, it is a privillage,<br />
seeing the wildlife in natural habitat is not a<br />
privillage, it is a right.<br />
