We descended on a slippery mud path, crossed the river on a rickety wooden bridge, and walked along the side looking up in the trees for our quarry.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-photo\"><a href=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2808\/10758510283_f47cdaf7d9_b.jpg\" target='_blank' title=\"Descending into Kyambura\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2808\/10758510283_f47cdaf7d9_m.jpg\" alt=\"Descending into Kyambura\" class=\"alignnone \"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Descending into the gorge<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-photo\"><a href=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2850\/10758301094_1e1e3b4c6d_b.jpg\" target='_blank' title=\"Jungle hiking\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2850\/10758301094_1e1e3b4c6d_m.jpg\" alt=\"Jungle hiking\" class=\"alignnone \"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Jungle hiking<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-photo\"><a href=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2834\/10758159575_124cb4ec96_b.jpg\" target='_blank' title=\"Kyambura gorge panorama\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2834\/10758159575_124cb4ec96_m.jpg\" alt=\"Kyambura gorge panorama\" class=\"alignnone \"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Kyambura gorge panorama<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p><br style=\"clear:both;\">Unfortunately, we didn&#8217;t see any chimpanzees, although Emmy said he heard them soon after we left the truck at the rim. We did find a lone hippo, and our guide shouted and banged his gun until it flopped into the water with a splash. After a few hours going up and down the valley, we were sweaty and tired, and headed back to the lodge for some refreshing showers and slow but functional internet. We sat in the lounge, watching brilliant blue lizards and drinking Tusker; not a bad end to our safari.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-photo\"><a href=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3826\/10758294204_5f0bcb9462_b.jpg\" target='_blank' title=\"Blue headed agama\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3826\/10758294204_5f0bcb9462_m.jpg\" alt=\"Blue headed agama\" class=\"alignnone \"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Blue headed agama<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woke up early again to try our luck at tracking again; today, chimpanzees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2083,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[87],"tags":[85],"class_list":["post-2082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-east-africa","tag-uganda"],"geo":{"latitude":-0.1758668,"longitude":30.0959301,"description":"Ntungamo - Katunguru Rd, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2082","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2082"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2082\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2087,"href":"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2082\/revisions\/2087"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2082"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2082"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.levinger.net\/josh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2082"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
