Daily Life on Safari


There are a number of interesting observations to be made
when viewing this picture:
BUT ONLY IF VIEWED IN THE LARGE FORMAT:
The Solar Panels provided us with enough power
when fed over a transformer into a battery.
This battery in turn kept our refrigerator box
nice and cold, so that we could always enjoy
fresh meat, cool wines and cold G&Ts.

Please observe the positioning of our "mosy-tents":
right adjacent to and almost touching the Cruiser and close
together, so that access to the front could be blocked
with the freezer box. This would enable us to slip into the Cruiser
if we were confronted by a curious Hyena or Lion. In addition
the tents were covered by a non transparent covering
so that we could not be seen from the outside.
This set up was followed in areas of high predator activities.
Let me add, that we never needed these precautions.
No Hyena or Lion ever showed the slightest interest in us.

A rare occasion: When crossing a river, shallow enough
to exclude Crocodile or Hippo activities, we took the
opportunity for a thorough wash or a bath.
A bit of bio degradable soap,
sitting in the clean, running river
gives us a seldom enjoyed chance to get clean.

Refreshing, inside and out.
This picture does not need to be viewed in the large format.


If no shallow river was available,
this "ultra modern" shower had to suffice.
Its operation is self explanatory.
