On the road from Fort Portal we crossed the Equator, which was fun.

No sooner had we entered the park, Asa yelled out, "Elephant!" And could you believe it took us all at few moments to actually see the giant elephant standing right beside us? Embarrassing but true.

The Rwenzori mountains are among the world's very few snow-capped mountains on the equator.

We stayed at the Little Elephant Camp just outside the park, which was very cool: safari tents, solar power, elephant trenches to keep us safe.

Breakfast delivered in little baskets.

Asa stepped on something and had to get it checked out.

Waiting for a river cruise, we saw a group of mongooses. (Mongeese?) Anyway, one tried to eat Asa's shoe.
