Crossing the Hippo Infested Ponds
Hippo Encounter
On one of our boat rides into camp, we got a little too close to a hippo. Well, he took umbrage to this and decided to chase us at full speed! He reared up out of the water at least 4 times as he did everything he could to catch up. It scared the hell out of all of us so much we were laughing! And the guide said he had never seen anything like it before, which made us all just-a-bit nervous!

This is what almost every bridge in Botswana looks like! They all look like they are on the edge of collapse. And I just can’t get used to that gap in the middle. I feel like, well, let’s just throw a few more logs down in that middle part just in case. These Land Rovers they use there are so immense and heavy… I can only imagine what would happen if just one tire slipped off… forget it! You’re down swimmin’ with the hippos, and they are hungry hungry.
