Morogoro 2010 continued - Safari to Ngumi

Saturday July 3rd - up at 4.30am and gone from CCT on their bus (driven by their driver Joshua who has been fantastic). The aim was to get to Ngumi National park by dawn so that we xcould view any animals about at that time. Ngumi is about 2 hours away and adjoins the larger Selous Park. We picked up a guide at the gate and for the next several hours he instructed us and pointed us in the direction of the game - lions, giraffe, impala, antelope, Rhino, hippo, baboon, wildebeest etc. It was a good day if at times somewhat stiflng in the bus which had no windows to open! It was good to see some more of the countryside and as we returned we were able to point out where we had walked the previous week! I don't think anyone was quite ready for a repeat hike!
Sunday July 4th -Mary and I headed to the children's Mass in Morogoro Church. As we arrived they were just coming out of the 2nd Mass of the morning and the singing from the adult choir has convinced us to get up in time for it next week! But the children were so enthusiastic it was a pleasure to be there. I recorded some sound and video clips on my phone and they are surprisingly good so watch this space when I get home and can load them to this blog site!
