Thanks to Ranger Tim for the lovely photos, and to you for including them. Your stories, as always, are marvelous reading. Hippos are not to be taken lightly!

Your writing is wonderfully descriptive — "milk-bottle legs," "a good girl's terror of authority," "camouflaged by a large red blow-up boat like a particularly foolish beetle." Although I've never actually bumped up against a hippo, I often recall an intensely serene afternoon on the Lunga River in a canoe floating nearby a group of hippos.

As far as boats and the Zambezi, a lot of good energy must have somehow been stored into that kayak - not much can trouble a hippo and live to tell the tale. Like the photos too Dervala.
