How Does That Saying Go?

view map

...people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...???...
or something to that effect. Well, this is a photo of our
guide in Yankari National Park, ...throwing stones ...at a hippo
...approximately one foot from the water.

Honestly though, he was a very good guide. He wasn't trying to
hurt the hippos but just get them to surface. and maybe come
closer...just trying to enhance our safari experience and maybe
kill off a tourist or two. The thing that most impressed me about
him though, was that he would stop, even go out of his way, to
pick up trash and empty beer cans that the locals leave scattered
about the park. You could tell he wasn't happy about the litter
either.

Taken in Yankari National Park, Nigeria.
