Day 3.

After breakfast, we headed off in the landcruiser again for the 50 kilometre drive to the village of Guetè. As we would be going to Lake Chad where Boko Haram was still active, we also picked up a AK-47 wielding guard.


Some African Zebu pulling a cart in Guetè.


Down on the surprisingly green lake shore (only a small branch of Lake Chad reaches the village).


Some of the local ladies.


We then drove off-road to the village of Mani.




And relaxed on a rug in the shade of some trees.


And feasted on some fish freshly caught from the Chari River for lunch.


After resting up back at the hotel, it was time for an excursion on the Chari River on a pirogue. As we were heading up river and getting close to Lake Chad (where there had been recent attacks from Boko Haram) we again picked up an armed guard.


Villagers from Douguia doing some wasking in the river.


Spotting some pigs as we head up river.
