Chapter 388: Simba and Shuka

"Hello Mr. Hong, your information company has passed it on to me, and I will take care of your every day in Mikumi according to the contract, and try to make you all satisfied. In addition, it seems that you and Yeron are already familiar with each other, which is a good start. As the first batch of Chinese guests to come to Mikumi, we specially prepared a sumptuous dinner, so why don't we go and arrange accommodation first, and then take a shower, we still have a lot of time to chat. "Uncle Simba really looks a bit like a lion, especially his beard, which is as thick as a male lion's mane.

People in different positions, the gifts must be different, Hong Tao did not use Boss Liu's two-pot wine to fool the camp director, but took out a box of cigars purchased in the United States to give him as a gift. It can be seen that Simba still likes this gift, although he has been saying that the gift is limited to local black employees, but he has never let go of the box of cigars.

Hong Tao and the three of them were assigned a large independent tent as their future housing, this tent is 30 square meters, and there are three partitions inside, including a living room, a bedroom and a cloakroom. In the bedroom, there are three comfy-looking wooden beds, as well as a small folding table and canvas chairs.

Both ends of the tent can be entered and exited, and there are thick stalls on the ground, although the whole living environment is not luxurious, but it is not bad to have such a place to rest in the wild, at least not as unbearable as Hong Tao imagined when he first came.

Not far behind the tent, near the fence, is a public toilet made of tree branches and straw curtains, and there is actually a bidet toilet in it. Next to the bathroom is the open-air washroom, there is a large mirror sink, a dressing table, two canvas buckets hanging in the middle, and a simple sprinkler head is connected to the bucket, it seems that this is the place to take a bath, but it seems that this shower equipment is manual, and someone needs to pour water into the canvas bucket first.

Anyway. The accommodation is not bad, the facilities are a bit basic, but very tidy, at least the roof of the bathroom is not crawling with black pressure flies. Although the large grass house in the center of the camp is concrete, it is cleaned everywhere, and there is no garbage or a single leaf in sight.

"Fat uncle, do you snore?" Hong Tao asked the fat boss in the bedroom.

"The fat men are all snoring, and each one is louder than the other." Before the fat boss could answer, Boss Liu helped him answer.

"Then I have to be wronged by you. You sleep on the bed on the very side, I sleep on the other side, and let Uncle Liu sleep in the middle. Hong Tao moved his luggage to another bed.

"I'm casual, that bed is the same, you sleep next to your Uncle Liu, and he won't snore?" The fat boss was rummaging his change of clothes in a bag, the fat man loved to sweat, and his back was wet when he sat down in the car all the way.

"I've heard Uncle Liu's snoring. It's still within the tolerable range, as long as you don't drink, it's fine. Hong Tao had already taken off all the first suits, although the American shopkeeper who sold them the clothes said that the clothes were very breathable, and indeed very good. However, it is Hong Tao's habit to be bare-chested in summer, and it still feels uncomfortable to stay in such an unair-conditioned tent with clothes on.

As Hong Tao imagined, when he and the fat boss walked into the bathroom to prepare for a bath. A black staff member walked over with a bucket of hot water mixed with the right temperature. He poured hot water into the two canvas buckets and then operated the simple sprinkler head under the canvas buckets with his own hands. Signaling how Hong Tao and the fat boss operated.

Since there were only two nozzles, Hong Tao had to wash with the fat boss first, and then Boss Liu washed again. The black staff member was waiting not far away, and if he needed to add water, he would pick it up again, and he also told Hong Tao that there was a special person who was responsible for washing and ironing the clothes for the guests, all of which were free, and of course the tip still had to be given.

After taking a shower and packing up their bags, Hong Tao and the three of them walked back to the big grass hut in the middle. By this time, most of the people had returned to their tents to rest, and only the Simba supervisor and the Dutch pee were in the hut.

"How does it feel? Are you satisfied with the room? Holland outside, and then let the three of them sit down at a large round table in the middle of the room.

"It's definitely not as good as the hotel, but I think it's okay, at least it's clean." Hong Tao didn't say those vain polite words.

"Hahaha, that's right, you're right, many people aren't used to the humble life here when they first come here, but if you run a few more places in Africa, I'm afraid you'll miss it." Holland urinated and refused the cigarettes handed over by Hong Tao, it seems that he should not smoke.

"Since this camp has existed for a long time and is very famous, why don't you expand it, Nathan Company should not lack this money, right?" Hong Tao handed Simba another cigarette, then lit it himself and smoked it.

"It's not about money, it's a nature reserve, and from the perspective of international animal protection organizations and the laws here, you can't build this kind of facility in the reserve, and our camp can only be considered temporary, and after March every year, it will be demolished and then built again in August. There are no roads, drinking water, electricity, communications, etc., and it will not receive many tourists, generally speaking, there will be no more than 3 guests in each wave, because all the supplies have to be transported by that plane, and after the number of people, it will not be able to guarantee everyone's living standards. Simba took over the topic and explained the general situation of the camp to Hong Tao in detail, and then Hong Tao translated it to Boss Liu and Fat Boss.

"There are a total of 18 staff members in this camp, the locals you just met, they are generally responsible for taking care of the daily life of the guests, they will be the drivers, porters and security personnel of the guests when they go out hunting, and we also have the Sanji card, they are dedicated to tracking the prey for the customers who are hunting, and now they are not in the camp and will come back at dinner." Simba continued.

"Shuka? What is this position? Hong Tao heard this term for the first time and didn't quite understand it.

"They are the most heroic people here, born hunters, commonly known in Europe as the Maasai, a people who still maintain the habit of hunting." Holland answered this question for Hong Tao.

"Is it even better than you?" Hong Tao is a little embarrassed to urinate.

"It's different, we rely mainly on modern transportation, communication equipment and weapons to hunt down our prey, and our main task is not to find the prey, but to help each guest become familiar with the way of hunting and ensure the safety of the guests. As for the matter of tracking prey, unless I am given a helicopter, the people in our whole camp are no match for a juka hunter, who can track an antelope on foot for hundreds of kilometers with their sense of smell and experience, and then capture the exhausted antelope alive, I don't think any hunter in the world would dare to try such a thing on the African savannah. Holland didn't put gold on his face, and readily admitted that he was far inferior to the Maasai in the skill of hunting.

"This is a bit bragging, if you really talk to him so NB, it's not like you can fight whatever you want, why are there several animals that can't be guaranteed to hit 100% when you sign a contract?" The fat boss listened to Hong Tao's translation and immediately found the contradiction.

"It's not a question of Shuka's incompetence, it's a legal one. It is important to know that each safari team will be accompanied by a forest policeman from the reserve, and our game guides will not be able to help guests shoot prey under normal circumstances. In most protected areas, there are clear regulations that for animals that are not killed by a shot and escape, they cannot be shot again, and the injured animal must also be counted in the hunting list, so in many cases, it is not that the prey cannot be found, but that it cannot be killed, once it cannot be fatal or seriously injured by a shot, let the prey escape, then even if there is another same prey next to it, due to the limitation of the quota, it can no longer be hunted, can I explain it so? When Hong Tao raised the issue on behalf of the fat boss, Director Simba explained why. (To be continued......)
