Watching Wildlife

On one guided night drive, my driver parked us in front of a large herd of buffalo lying in a field. All I could see of the dangerously skittish beasts was the twinkle of dozens of tiny eyes in the moonlight. Boat trips can offer close-up wildlife experiences too. I once took a ride up the Chobe River, the broad, slow-flowing border between northern Botswana and the lumpy north-eastern finger of Namibia known as the Caprivi Strip.

Not content with letting his passengers check out animals from a safe distance, our captain — who had chosen the name Lucky — steered his boat right up onto a sandy riverbank where a dozen elephants were taking a mid-afternoon stroll. Walking with wildlife The principle behind a walking safari is straightforward enough. A small group of people is escorted through the bush by knowledgeable guides who know the area in question, and the habits of the local wildlife, like the backs of their own hands. At least one of your chaperones will carry a weapon, in case an animal shows a bit too much interest in you and your fellow interlopers.

The walks can range from a few hours to a few days going from camp to camp , but they all have the same goal: There are a couple of simple rules you have to follow on walking safaris. The most important is that you do what your guides tell you — they are the experts and they are in charge.

The people in your group will also need to walk in single file, which makes it easier for your guides to look after you. While it may seem counterintuitive, the need to stay calm applies even in the unlikely event you come across a predator in a nasty mood.

The old safari maxim speaks for itself: To date, no original copy has come to light, not even in promo form, and can be safely disregarded as fiction. The 7" packaging made reference to animals , with a panda and dolphin on the sleeve. The cassette single made more references to sex.

To wit, the instrumental mix was dubbed "The Condom Mix" on the cassette single. The promotional condom that was to be distributed with each single would have stopped the single sales counting towards the UK charts as the official chart provider had introduced new rules to this effect, so the idea was abandoned.

Promotional copies complete with the condom do exist however. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The single also featured a brand new track, "The Waves" on the B-side. Do not start chopping at live trees and vegetation for your campfire.

Instead, use only dead wood from fallen timber on the ground. Stay on designated roads and trails to minimize the impact of vehicle and foot traffic. In delicate ecosystems of Montana, there really is a fragile balance. Traffic whether by foot or vehicle can create ruts and trails where they didn't exist before.

While it may be tempting, keep your food to yourself. That sandwich may taste great to you, but it can harm the digestive systems of wild animals and convince them to look for handouts from other people.
