River Hippos

In the Masai Mara National Reserve we stayed at the Mara River Camp. There were many Hippos in the river there. We were advised not to leave our tent at night and indeed we could hear them all around the tent munching on the grass throughout the night. They had someone escort us back to our tent after dinner each night. We stayed here several nights and it was interesting to note that three different escorts each had their weapon of choice. One had a rifle, one a spear, and one was confident enough to only carry a club (called a Rungu) with him.
