Pika back in dry Mundri


When Pika left Mundri in December to go home for the holidays the land was still pretty lush and green. As he flew over Mundri he noticed that the tall grasses and bush had been burned away to prepare for the dry season. Homes are no longer surrounded by grass and corn stalk barriers. The ground is dry and dusty. Heat wind blows through and the dust and dry leaves scatter. You will notice that Pika blends into the dry brown grass, which will keep preditors like Chai away. Yesterday the temperature got up to 105 degrees.

Back in east Africa

Pika is enjoying the lazy suzy in the middle of the table, which is like a merry-go-round to him

Down by the water, Pika checks out the boats on the dock. Sadly he didn't get to ride in one

"I'm the King of the World" or so he thinks


Pika arrived safe and sound back in east Africa after two very long flights, a little turbulence, an over night in London, and a late drive on Entebbe road. Last week he spent some time relaxing in Jinja, Uganda where he got to rest and get over jetlag. He ate well, splept okay, and had a good time with the Sudan team.
