Lake Chamo
After our first miserable night of sleep (if you can even call it that) in Arba Minch, the six of us rented a boat with our hosts and went out onto Lake Chamo. We eagerly searched the water for wildlife and we were lucky to see pelicans and other fascinating birds, looming crocodiles, warthogs, monkeys and FOUR hippos! It was the perfect way to escape the heat for a few hours. I was tempted to jump in the water...but those hippos were giving me a “I double-dog-dare-you,” look. So that was a no-go. But hey, at least sweating in the boat is better than getting charged by a territorial hippo.
