And in the middle a river springs

E phatlaladitšwe: 21.09.2017

Today the alarm clock rang at 5:30. Animal watching was on the agenda. A ferry took us across the Nile. The morning slowly awakened, the sun came out. First antelopes were seen. The specimen in the photo not only looks a bit stupid, it is. No idea what it's called, Sam's African English is not always understandable. When the animal sees a lion, it hides. After 5 minutes, it forgets about the lion and runs straight in. At least it doesn't taste good for lions. That's madness. At least in the morning it doesn't know how many pieces belong to the family, so no one is missed.

We drove for 5 hours through green landscapes, saw lions, antelopes, buffalos, herds of elephants, hippos, monkeys, colorful birds, giraffes in abundance. The whole thing seemed unreal, like a huge zoo. So unbelievably many animals in one place . Amarula palms, from whose fruits the elephants get drunk - unfortunately that couldn't be seen.

In the afternoon we went on a boat trip on the Nile. A long narrow aluminum boat took us to the waterfall. On the way there, animals, animals, animals. Bad weather was coming. The way back was very fast. After 5 minutes, the rain started plus wind and thunder. And still at least 30 minutes to drive. After we were soaking wet, the side walls were lowered. The boat guide couldn't see anything anymore, but he said he could estimate well. The sky was dark and the Nile crocodiles were waiting for their moment. We huddled together and entrusted our lives to an estimated 18-year-old...

The way back to the camp was adventurous. The road had turned into a mud path with an integrated river. Deep streams along and across the road made it impassable for everything except all-wheel drive. Unbelievable how quickly a road can become impassable. Just before the end, an insect caught us. Sam said it was a Zika mosquito. Well, let's see how healthy the next few days will be...

herrlich i h wär gern dabei. Sandras Humor ist zum beäppeln. bitte jeden Abend mehr davon...

Das ist wie ein spannender Roman, wo wir jeden Abend auf die Fortsetzung schon sehnsüchtig warten. Beim lesen hat man das Gefühl selber mit von der Partie zu sein. Weiter so, auch die Fotos .
