Hunting The Selous With Alan Vincent 2012

Part III

The Luagu River

The top of the hills are covered in grass, which the buffalo love to feed on

Our airstrip

Our welcoming party.

Look at the large group of hippos in bottom center of the photo

This little guy was waiting for me in my tent. He was right next to the mirror by the washing sink. Two more were eventually found, all in the bathroom.

On our way to camp from the airstrip, we saw this lion lying in the river bed. The light was fading fast as you can see from the photo.

Roy is always happy to see Walter. And Walter has noticed that Roy's smile is even bigger the day he leaves! I wonder why?

Walter is showing Garry one of his hats. Hessa has made them especially for him. She made hats for me, Roya nd Chris, one each. But for Walter she made several. She said just in case Walter looses some!

Walter and Dean are "bonding!" A term that scares the daylights out of Dean!

Last year it was Walter'sfirst hunt with Dean. He asked Dean to go to his tent so they can "bond together". Dean said "I would rather do it here, thank you"!

Chris will have to tell how he managed 3 weeks of bonding with Walter. I bet he will have some helarious stories to tell.

Rene is Walter's best friend. She never stops defending him, as especially Roy, Alan and me tend to pick on the poor guy. Mind you, he deserves everything he gets!

Walters electric tsetse fly swatter. It worked like a charm!

Rene. We call her the Big Boss. She makes the camp tick!

Myself, Roy and Alan. You can apply any character from Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Castello or the Marks Brothers to any of us and you won't be far wrong! Hunting is supposed to be serious business. But apparently no one told us about it! We just like to have fun. The fact that we do manage to shoot some animals is just due to their bad luck!
