Chapter 366: Sightseeing Hot Air Balloon

Early the next morning, Bell and his column team began to separate up and tell everyone to get up and prepare for departure.

After breakfast, everyone was called to a big grass next to the camp to gather, seeing the scene in front of them, Xia Wencai and others were stunned, they thought it was a car to see the prairie, but looking at the hot air balloon floating densely in front of them, it was obviously not the case!

After boarding the hot air balloon, Xia Wencai and the others were a little excited, they had sat in a luxury airplane, but they had never been on such a tall thing as a hot air balloon.

There are many kinds of hot air balloons here, the small ones can only take three or four people, but Xia Wencai they are many, of course, the choice is a large hot air balloon, each can take about ten people, Xia Wencai, Lin Xiaowan, Huang Xiaoming and others of course chose to sit on the same hot air balloon, after Bell arranged for others, he also boarded the hot air balloon of Xia Wencai and others, and then under the driver's drive, a line of more than ten hot air balloons began to take off.

Since it is mainly for sightseeing, the hot air balloon does not fly high or fast, and it is only twenty or thirty meters above the ground, as long as it is not hung by the shrubs and branches below.

Huang Xiaoming and others had already prepared, and after the official departure, they picked up the camera or camera and started aerial photography, and saw all kinds of animals below constantly shouting, like a turtle.

In particular, I was even more excited to see the scene of predators hunting.

The most distinctive tree species in the African savannah is, of course, the flat-topped acacia tree, which is like a parasol planted throughout the savannah to let all kinds of animals escape the heat.

When an hour or two has passed, the scorching heat of the sun is sprinkled all over the earth, and many animals are beginning to listlessly find a place to cool off, especially the lions, most of them have given up hunting, snoring in the shade, and began to recuperate, only some naughty little lions are still playing in a big fight, and they seem to be energetic and not affected by the temperature at all.

However, although their parents are very gentle most of the time, they obviously don't like to be disturbed by the little ones when they are resting, and when Fan Bing and the others passed by a lion pack, they saw two naughty lions playing with their father's mane, and they were cleaned up and slapped away.

"Hey, it's so hot!" Huang Xiaoming put down the camera, wiped the sweat from his face and complained.

Liu Shi and Fan Bing also nodded yes, as for the other people on the hot air balloon, they didn't react, the hot air balloon driver floats here every day and is already immune to the climate, Bell also often drills the tropical forest, which is much more uncomfortable than here, as for Xia Wencai, the few people directly ignored the temperature here, but said that it was very cool.

"Are you exaggerating, this is hot? Before I came, I thought that Africa was a furnace, after all, I often heard that I couldn't live here, but when I came, I realized that most of the places here are more than 30 degrees, and compared with the fog, we have more than 40 degrees in summer, and sometimes the exaggerated temperature can reach 50 degrees outside. After Xia Wencai finished speaking, Lin Xiaowan, Fat Man and Xu Weiwei all nodded in agreement, the temperature in Africa is relatively different from what they imagined, and they have always thought that it is too hot to do it, how do you know that there is no local summer strength!

After hearing this, Bell smiled and said: "Everyone does have a misunderstanding about Africa, the reason for the drought here is not because of how hot the temperature is, but the dry season and the rainy season are distinct, and it often does not rain for several months during the dry season, of course, it will kill people."

After hearing this, several people nodded yes, there is only one thing here that Xia Wencai and others are not used to, that is, the air here is too dry, although it doesn't feel very hot, but the water in the body flows quickly, and you need to replenish water after a while, otherwise it will be easy to become dehydrated.

At noon, they made do with some bread, ham and other things on the hot air balloon, and then continued sightseeing.

After watching it for so long, Xia Wencai also understood the reason why Bell said that this place was not suitable for filming, not that the animals were not cooperative, but that they were too cooperative.

The number of tourists here makes them speechless, the sky is floating everywhere with their same sightseeing hot air balloons not to say, but the ground is also exaggerated, there are sightseeing buses and jeeps everywhere, it feels like there are more people than animals, and the animals here have been obviously accustomed to tourists, and they are not panicked at all when they see the car passing by them, they should eat grass and eat grass, they should hunt and hunt, and some animals such as lions and leopards simply lie down in the shadow next to the car or enjoy the shade under the car, and it feels more animal than the animals in the zoo!

Before, Xia Wencai and others thought that the sightseeing vehicles in such a wild reserve were wrapped in layers of barbed wire or something, but now they are speechless at a glance, wrapped in hair, many sightseeing cars are simply open-topped, and jeeps are similar, especially those jeeps that specialize in photographing wild animals, and they also make extended frames on both sides of the car, and people sit outside to shoot.

Xia Wencai and the others thought it was quite scary at first, because there were often fierce beasts passing by next to them, and as long as they kissed them, they had to finish the game, but when they saw lions and hyenas or something, they often didn't look at them, and after passing away like this, they didn't worry about it anymore.

"Bell, these people are so bold, I sweat when I see these male lions walking past them, aren't they afraid of being attacked?" Fan Bing couldn't help but ask curiously.

Bell replied: "That's why we don't do the show here, these animals are imperceptible to people, except for instinctive hunting, basically can't see any wildness, and can't shoot anything good if you want to, it feels like the beasts in the zoo, of course, there are exceptions, sometimes there are tourists and photographers who will be attacked by fierce beasts, and two years ago, a photographer was bitten to death by a male lion in full view."

"Someone has been bitten to death, how dare they do this?" Xu Weiwei pointed to the unprotected vehicle below and said.

"This kind of thing can't happen once in a few years, and the chance of being struck by lightning is much smaller in comparison, so what's there to be afraid of." Bell explained.

"What happened to the lion that killed the man?" Xia Wencai is more interested in this question.

Hearing Xia Wencai's question, Bell was suddenly silent for a while, and then spoke: "Later, I was killed by the rangers, not only biting people, but as long as they had the intention of attacking people, they would be found and killed."

Bell's voice fell, the atmosphere was a little stiff, everyone was a little uncomfortable, in fact, strictly speaking, since this is the original ecological reserve, the owner here should naturally be the animals here, because the purpose of the reserve is that human beings must not interfere with the natural development of animals and kill animals, but also to provide them with a better living environment, even if tourists or other people are attacked, they should blame themselves for not doing a good job of protection, but obviously no one will really think like this, human beings are the masters of this world, whether to kill or not to kill or human beings have the final say, One sentence that threatens human safety is enough for those animals who dare to resist to die a hundred times.

But fortunately, these animals are also smart, and after knowing that humans can't afford to mess with them, they basically won't mess with them now, and they have also reduced their unnecessary casualties, so they can continue to thrive on this grassland. (To be continued.) )
