One of my very favorite things is to fly over the Earth on a clear day, sitting contently in a window seat; I easily get lost in the stunning landscapes below me, sitting in awe at the beauty of our Earth as I see it from a new perspective.
A couple of weeks ago, I had the good fortune to be flown to Gulu, in transit to our school in Nimule, South Sudan. My stop in Gulu was one of three stops and knowing that Kidepo National Park was one of them, I casually mentioned I wouldn't mind being the last to be dropped off if others were in a hurry to reach their destinations. The other passengers were pleased and the pilot obliged, which means I sat happily in my seat, watching Uganda pass under me.
In one trip we flew over the packed slums of Kampala to Uganda's most remote game park, witnessing within a couple of hours the juxtaposition of Kampala's jammed traffic to a huge herd of water buffalo spread across the Karamoja plains.
Do you see the buffalo herd? (10th picture down)
