Hippos Everywhere

We took a river safari boat trip where we saw so many hippos all extremely close to the boat. We were told to be careful not to fall or drop anything in as they would surprise you by suddenly coming up out of the water in front of you. This they did, but nothing and no one was lost.

There were loads of water buffalo and we spotted a pair of mating monitor lizards which if undisturbed will apparently continue mating for an entire day. We also saw a lion in the trees on the river bank (who even looking through binoculars I wouldn't have known was there unless someone told me), and lots of different birds.
