Lake Malawi
Not all Hippos of the Liwonde Nationalpark liked us. Being in a little canoe, this act of aggression can be very impressive. We spent many days at the lake of Malawi. One day we therefore [...]
Across the country

The well-known delta of the Okavango is in the African summer more of a marsh land with a lot of little creeks. Without guide we would have been lost and would most likely still hanging [...]
