Uganda From Above

Last week we had some visitors come to Bundibugyo, and they had a MAF flight come pick them up at the end of their trip to take them back to Kampala to catch a flight home (the only airport in Uganda is just outside of Kampala). I needed to be in Kampala this week anyway (the Johnsons are attending a conference and I will be teaching Rwenzori Moving School) so I asked if I could squeeze into the plane with them and spend a couple extra days in Kampala. What a treat it was to fly across Uganda, see how beautiful Bundibugyo is from above, and enjoy a smooth one hour ride (instead of the bumpy 8 hour drive we normally have). Enjoy the pictures from the flight :)

The kiddos were excited to see a plane in Bundibugyo!

The beautiful jungle of Uganda :)

Love those Rwenzori Mountains
So thankful to be flying over the Bwamba Road instead of driving on it :)

Kampala is in sight!
Just one hour later and we have arrived!
