Hello from africa!
In Niamey we went with Gord and Judy Evans to a spot where their were Hippos to watch. We had to hire 2 guards to keep the kids away from our vans. The boat we went in had a offical bailer and a motorist to guide the boat. It was the Bailers job to keep the holes in the boat stuffed with clean white cotton and to bail all the water out of the bottom of the boat (there was at least 2 inches of water in the bottom of the boat at all times!!!). The Hippos were amazing and they were very cool because they were very quiet and secretive. The guide said they had their babies on the shore and were watching out for them. Thats why we couldn't get that close. The stats say that hippos kill more people than lions. That made us cautious and a bit scared!
