As Mrs
BB always reminds me, Germans and to a lesser extent Australians take some stupid risks at times, for the perfect photo.
Unfortunately the two have come together in the past in the shape of stupid guides and naive tourists, swimming in croc infested waters in Australia's NT, despite all the warnings that such an activity can easily turn fatal.
I didnt write a trip report but I really should. I will try to do it this weekend! It was an awesome trip. The pictures were all from Zambia. It was in a national park there. I will include more details in the trip report. And the guides here were EXTREMELY good. Stunningly informed and helpful and very safety conscious. In much of Africa you cant get out of your vehicles. Here, you can if you are accompanied by an armed park ranger. The rangers, as well as the guides, are very well trained. The guides worked for the tour company, the rangers worked for the government and spend part of their time on tourist protection (from animals) and part on poacher patrols. I will include more details in the trip report.
