Samuel, the guide at "Source of the Nile".  He is trying to earn money to get his education.  He grew up on an Island in Lake Victoria as a fisherman.  
The area across the river is Njeru peninsula.  We have a branch over there.  There is a spring that flows out of Lake Victoria and makes up 30% of the flow of the Nile at it's source.
Source of the Nile as it leaves Lake Victoria.  Julie holding palm nut.   It can not be opened. The natives squeeze this for food.  
It rained yesterday and these ingenious ants built walls along their path.  The path was quite lone and tunneled in places but we couldn't get a good picture of more than a small area.


The pink bush is a bougainvillea.  It is my favorite color.  Never seen this color in Phoenix.  The red blossoms above my head is a poinsettia bush.
