Chapter 410: Ngorongoro
"There's a reason for that, and you probably know it, we have to hunt males who are close to old age, and in wild animals, these old animals are starting to lose their dominance. Competition in the animal world is very cruel, when you are ousted from the dominance, what awaits you is often death and exile, so although there are many animals here, most of them are young adults, and those old guys who are lonely, not in groups, and driven out of the world often do not come here. On the other hand, there is a possibility of encountering these animals around other camps, and this trip is arranged according to the success rate of the hunt, so you can't question our work attitude, I would like you to catch all the hunt in one day, and then I can go to China with you. "The Dutchman has a very good brain, clear logic, and good eloquence, and explains Hong Tao's doubts clearly.
"Why is this called Ngorongoro? Is it an African tribal language? Since Wei Han is going to shoot a documentary, he is not only concerned about whether he can catch the prey, but also about the local culture, customs, etc., and he is eager to use this opportunity to put all the things in Africa into his camera.
"Ha Lu Ha I asked the locals this question a few years ago, and their explanation is quite interesting, the word Ngorongoro is not English, nor French, nor the language of any tribe in Africa. It was coined by the British when they colonized it, do you know what they came up with this term on? "The Dutch peeing problem is back again, and it's not just about answering your questions. He also asks you questions to reinforce the audience's impression that Hong Tao wonders if his parents are also teachers.
"Is it an animal? Or plants? Wei Han was very cooperative. Two answers are given.
"No, no, no, this used to be the pasture of the Maasai people, and when they herded their cattle, they would hang two big brass bells around their necks, so that when they walked, they would make a gelong and gelong sound, so the British who first came here called this place Ngorongoro according to this sound, which is actually the sound of cowbells." The Dutch pee even said with a gesture, dancing with his hands and spitting at the stars.
"What if we can't find the right prey here?" Hong Tao had little interest in these specious legends. He's just a rough guy, and he's only concerned about his prey.
"Then we'll have to continue north to Kenya, where there are a number of private hunting grounds. And the law there is a little more lenient than here, but the security is not as good as here, so as an alternative. "The Dutch pee is very honest and informs the customers of the advantages and disadvantages of the hunting grounds.
"Oh. It's better to be able to solve it here. By the way, I have another question, what if you can't find the right prey in Kenya? Hong Tao is not giving up, although he is blind to Africa, but he still wants to know more about his itinerary.
"In that case, we're going to go to the hunting grounds in South Africa, where the animals are a little more expensive, but the camps are more luxurious and the service is better."
"We're not going to go to South Africa on that little plane again! If that were the case, I couldn't think of South Africa, and one of us would have to die on the plane. Hong Tao suddenly remembered the tragic situation of the fat boss.
"No, no. It can't fly that far, we'll have to take a jet. By the way, I want to ask you a personal question, okay? The Dutch seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Personal questions? It can't be your sister's problem, right? I repeat, she and I are landlord-tenant relationships, and we've only met twice. Hong Tao heard the words of Holland urinating, and involuntarily pondered according to his habitual thinking, what other personal problems could he have with him besides his sister Raiccher?
"No, it's not Raycher's problem, I'm a little weird, why don't you get motion sickness? Do you often fly this kind of plane in China? "Dutch pee is a really personal question.
"Oh, what a thing! Hey, hey, have you ever ever been on a boat? What kind of little yacht on the sea? As soon as Hong Tao heard the Dutchman's question, he was immediately happy, but he could be regarded as asking about his strengths, and he had to show off!
"Yes, my father loved fishing when he was alive, and I went out to sea with my father since I was a child, so I didn't get seasick or get seasick." The Dutch pee didn't understand what Hong Tao was talking about the yacht.
"I also like fishing, and I go out fishing, so I'm not too seasick, and compared to the sea, this little plane is not too uncomfortable, but it's a little bit louder." Hong Tao patted his chest and said that he was the same as his father.
"Oh, I see, do you want to go fishing?" Holland pee obviously didn't hear that Hong Tao was taking advantage of him, and stupidly gave Hong Tao ideas.
"Here?"
"Yes, there's a small river just near our camp with a lot of fish in it." Holland seems to have been heavily influenced by his father and is also a keen fisherman.
"No problem, we can have a game, whoever loses is treated, how about it? But we have fishing tackle, my equipment is all in China, I didn't bring it, is there a fishing tackle shop here to buy? As soon as Hong Tao heard that he could still fish, his addiction also came up.
"I have fishing tackle, I can lend it to you, as for the treat, I think so, if you lose, cancel the treat, I can't drink Chinese wine, it seems like I'm going to die." Holland accepted Hongtao's challenge, but he reversed the bet, and it seems that he has developed a phobia of Chinese baijiu.
"No problem! Do as you say! Hong Tao patted the Dutch on the shoulder, it seemed to be very generous, in fact, his heart was happy, when he said that he was about to invite guests to eat when he left, it was just a Chinese mantra, Hong Tao really didn't want to invite guests. But now Hong Tao doesn't have to worry about his breach of appointment, the other party took the initiative to offset the invitation, Hong Tao wondered if he had to deliberately lose twice?
This broken highway is very difficult to walk, and even an off-road vehicle cannot run at speed. In addition to the fact that the road surface is in disrepair and has many potholes, the main reason is that the road has no guardrails.
In this way, there are very few pedestrians crossing the road, and there are many animals crossing the road, and they don't know how to read the signs, and they don't know how to look left and right, stop and slow and pass these traffic rules, and always pass on the highway in a big way, and even have to stay for a few minutes, pull the poop and then go.
These animals are protected by law and cannot be hunted, let alone killed by a car, so the speed of driving on this road is very slow, about 60 kilometers per hour, and the closer you get to the reserve, the worse this situation becomes.
Once, Hong Tao and their first car had passed, but the three cars behind were blocked by a group of zebras, and this was half an hour, and this large group of zebras dragged their families with their mouths, grazing and wandering around, ignoring the cars on the road.
The 120-kilometer journey took 2 hours, just walked more than 80 kilometers, at this time the road in front of the road began to rise, and a trace of shadow appeared in the distant sky, although it was not clear to see, Hong Tao also knew that he was going up the mountain.
The mountain roads here are very steep and dangerous, and they are not even asphalted, they are paved with gravel, with a mountain wall on one side and a hillside on the other. Although it is not as desperate as the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, it is also very scary, mainly because the road conditions are too bad.
There is a saying in China that the house leak coincides with the overnight rain, Hong Tao and their 4 cars just climbed halfway up the mountain, there was a problem in front, there was a big off-road vehicle that Hong Tao did not know the brand broke down at the bend of the mountain road, which made the mountain road that was not wide completely impassable, and everyone had to stop and wait.
"Yeron, what brand of car is this? It's cool to watch! Hong Tao also followed the driver of his convoy to get out of the car and walk over to see the condition of the broken down car, he couldn't understand the words of several black drivers, and repairing the car was not his forte, so he could only pull the Dutch urine and chat.
"Willis's brand, the English car, it's definitely older than your father, do you know what?" The Dutch are becoming more and more able to chat, always asking rhetorical questions where it matters most.
"I don't know what to do!" What else can Hong Tao say, he can only be an honest student. (To be continued......)
