Another example of God's providence came during our trip home from safari -when the water hose in Paul's car blew up in the middle of nowhere (about three hours from Kampala). How is this a good thing I hear you ask? Well, as Paul pulled up on the side of busy Gulu road just on dusk, I noticed Kabalega Diner about 25m back on the opposite side of the road.
Suffice to say, we carefully reversed the mini-van and pulled in for a break - we weren't sure how long we'd be staying there, but decided it was a much better place to stay than on the side of a busy road in the dark. We also thought it was a good place to buy dinner as it was about 6.30pm. The menu was great, but as I'd had diarrhea and vomiting all day, I decided to 'watch the animals feed' from a distance.
After three hours, Paul had managed to replace the water hose and so we were back on the road again. Although we had a few little stops on our way home (as the engine was still overheating) we eventually arrived home at about 1am - 4 hours later than we anticipated!
Having said all that, the whole safari experience was totally amazing for everyone - we saw lots of animals, enjoyed the resort-style pool and ate heaps of meat, fresh fruit and fresh vegetables - more than we have had for the first part of our trip.
We each highly recommend Murchison Falls National Park and Paraa Resort to anyone looking for a great safari experience in Uganda. We'd also recommend Kabalega Diner if you get stuck somewhere along Gulu Road and are looking for a good meal, clean toilets and smiling faces.
