Spotted Eagle-Owl

On July 19, 2025 I was with Judy and my granddaughter, Ella. We were in Uganda and drove from outside Kampala, near Lake Victoria and the Mabamba Swamp, to Murchison Falls NP. When we arrived at the Karuma entrance our guide William registered us and we drove in as it was getting dark. We drove east to west covering almost the entire length of the park, past Paraa and to Pakuba, where we stayed at the Pakuba Safari Lodge. During our drive we saw a hyena, a hippo and two spotted eagle-owls that were standing in the road and flew as we approached.
