Dopo aver risalito il fiume Gambia per quasi 150 miglia, ecco un terzo mondo, dopo il deserto del Sine Saloum e le mangrovie della Casamance: si passa fra rive di foresta altissima, vegetazione di acqua dolce, isole impenetrabili.
Ma soprattutto fauna.
Un coccodrillo ci passa tranquillo davanti alla prua (tranquillo lui, io mica tanto), sulla riva hippos jump, then dive leaving only the eyes nose ears. In the area follow the national park Branca guardians who throw food to chimpanzees and baboons, is an hour of pure entertainment. Tea also laughs and screams, while looking through the binoculars held down.
the night at anchor roars from the monkeys are around cats, hippos snort sciaguattando, having fun like crazy it seems, is like being in a cage at the zoo just that we are there.
sleep? Hmmsi ', more or less.
confess that we have gone up there to bring us up to the girls (the phrase of the title who if you forget the most), in hindsight perhaps we have more enraptured us adults. The following day animals, but past the initial surprise, competition from Lego and Playmobil is unbeatable.
of high voltage cables prevent it from continuing further upstream without Branca turn the canoe, we begin to fall back.
