Camping in Africa

Camping in Africa is awsome.

So many times we were so close to wildlife so I got really good at making sure I never had to pee in the night! We had herds of water buffalo in the camps..warthogs..lotsa monkeys! We could hear hippos munching around us and were warned by the guide to stay out of the lake so the hippos don't kill us!! He also mentioned that if we accidentally walked into one in the dark it would feel "soft" so take your headlamp!!  I got such a kick out of watching 30 baboons watch us baboons eat our lunch until the guide would point a sling shot at them or a park officer would chase them into the bushes with a rifle over his shoulder. All just to try and intimidate them of coarse..they always came back.

I remember wondering what to do when I came out of a drop toilet and had 3 warthogs corner me....kind of a weird feeling. I guess they are used to people lol.
