It’s a Small World

Three years ago, Dean Jacobs visited my school in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He is a wildlife photographer and also is the author of Wonderous Creatures and Wonderous Journey. And here I am in Uganda, staying in the same hotel as him.

“It’s a small world,” he said.

He did a video with me about it. It was short, like me. That’s funny Smiling face with open mouthSmiling face with open mouth and smiling eyesFace with tears of joySmiling face with open mouthSmiling face with open mouthFace with tears of joySmiling face with open mouth and smiling eyesSmiling face with open mouth. It is a small world, after all. Watch the YouTube video here:

Epic Murchison Falls Park

James and Globe

One day we left Red Chilli Kampala and took a five-hour van to Murchinson Falls National Park in Uganda. By the time we got there it was around dinner time. We ordered late and our dinner came at eight, one hour after we had scheduled.

That night a hippo walked into our camp. That was so cool! She grazed and grazed, blocking tents. When my father and I were in our tent, the hippo completely circled our tent. Then she grazed in front of our next door friends’ tent.

In the morning we were woken up early to go on a game drive. We saw hippos, warthogs, elephants, buffalo, Uganda Kobs, Jackson’s Hartebeests, and lions. When we got back, there were giant warthogs in camp! There was also a baboon on a picnic table. A couple hours later we went on a boat safari. We saw many hippos. We saw birds, too. When we got back Mom put in our orders for dinner and our packed breakfast. We stayed up late and chatted with our friends from England, Italy, Germany, and the US. The next morning, we woke up early, drove a mini game drive, then left.

Murchinson Falls Park is awesome!
