The journey to Kidepo

A thousand images flickering past.

A long and bumpy, muddy road. Huge mobile phone masts incongruous to the surroundings. Women on bicycles. A UWA truck stuck in the mud. Women with babies strapped to their backs using a calabash as sun protection. IDP camps filled with folks unable to go home. Fields of sunflowers. School children in day-glow pink uniforms walking and laughing their way home. Signs advising you to beware of landmines. Dwarf cows with big humps. Buses with messages from the Bible plastered across the windscreen. Children gathered around a water pump and carrying jerrycans. Farmers working in the blazing sun. Countless signs for the countless NGOs at work in this region. Fields of crops. Every shade of green imaginable. Blue skies, cloudy skies, grey skies, sheet lightning, torrential rain, blazing sunshine.

A hundred photos taken along the way, two thirds blurry as we whizzed by too quickly!
