After seeing all the interesting wildlife along the banks of the River Nile, Barnaby Bear decided that he would like to see more.
Barnaby Bear had to hire a driver, and cross the River Nile to get to the Safari Park.

There are many different animals that live in Uganda. Most of them you will only find in the UK in a zoo. Many of them like to live here because of the hot weather, and the different plants that grow here.
Barnaby Bear went on safari, and he saw:
|
antelopes, |
| baboons, |  |
 |
buffalo, |
crocodiles, Crocodiles live 100 years, when they are 25 they start laying eggs. They lay 60 eggs a year, but only 1/4 of them survive. |
 |
 |
elephants, Elephants live for 65 years. They eat 250kg of food every 2 hous. No wonder they are so big! |
fish eagles, (we call these osprey, and they are very rare in this country, but spend summer in the Lake District) |
 |
 |
giraffes, |
 |
hippos, Hippos live for 35 years |
 |
| hornbills, |  |
 |
lions, |
| monitor lizards, |  |
 |
monkeys, |
| partridges, |  |
 |
storks and egrets, |
Ugandan Kob |
|
 |
warthogs, |
| and waterbucks. |  |
After all that animal watching, Barnaby Bear was very hungry and thirsty.
Unfortunately, he was so eager to get the lid off his
soda that it fizzed all over him!
But with all the animals he had seen living in the Nile, he thought it would be a good idea to wait until
he got home to clean himself up!
