Imagine a 7 hour drive from Uganda’s capital, Kampala: Some parts of the drive are smooth, others not so much. Just when I think I can’t sit for another minute, we arrive at Queen Elizabeth National Park. I find a new leash of life as we drive through this epic park; passing a hippopotamus who we rudely interrupted as she was crossing the dirt road we were driving on. Moments later, 2 hyenas showed up out of nowhere chasing each other… and then, the most epic experience, a family of 3 elephants were strolling along no more than 50 feet away.
