Not sure quite how I should write this. We started off in a couple of boats from Paradise Lodge (in fact, a very small tin shack the size of a garden shed), as we set out on to Lake Chamo through channels in the tall papyrus (remember "The African Queen"?) escorted by a whole variety of large dragon files, and on past "the Bridge of God" to where the crocodiles reside. Then, we just floated through many more such channels, where a whole variety of crocs of assorted sizes were snoozing quietly (thank goodness!) on the banks. We were so close we could almost literally touch them - although no one took the risk! Great experience. Then it was on to the hippos, who seemed to time their appearances above the waterline to last just fractionally less than the time it took me to take a shot. Fortunately, our boatman today did not harass them in any way. Then it was back across the lake - and, just as we were coming back to shore, a large flock (several hundred?) of flamingoes flew past.
We finished with a delicious fish meal, overlooking both of the two lakes, as storks and raptors circled above and below us.
All on all, just another boring day.
