Hippos, Baboons, and Bucks




At Liwonde National Park we went on a canoe safari to see the hippos. They like to grunt, and can stay under water for six minutes, says the safari canoe guide. The guide pushed us through the marsh with a long pole to get us out to open water, the back water of the Shire River. Baboons were around our campsite, and water and bush buck were laying all around the area. When Liwonde becomes a refuge during the dry season, there are elephants. We hope to return sometime then.
