Chapter 80: Kruger (Revised)
Located in the northeastern part of the Transvaal, Kruger Park is South Africa's largest wildlife park, covering an area of more than 20,000 square kilometres.
The park's vast wilderness is home to a wide range of wildlife, including elephants, lions, rhinos, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, hippos, crocodiles and many other exotic animals.
For this trip, Yi Xiaobei and Wang Lin are quite looking forward to it.
Zhao Yang arranged for the Ngala Tented Camp Hotel in the park, which was located in the interior of the park, and everyone rode in an open-top SUV and signed the so-called life and death certificate before heading all the way from the gate to the hotel.
On this road, from time to time, you can see antelopes or groups of buffaloes appear in front of the car, which makes Yi Xiaobei and Wang Lin scream in surprise from time to time, and occasionally you can see one or two leopards or a few coyotes on the way.
"Why can't you see a lion!" After walking for two or three hours, Yi Xiaobei finally said with some disappointment.
"This is still the outer area of the park, so there are not many lions, and we should be able to see them when we officially start our journey to the depths of the park tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!" explained Xiang Long with a smile.
Hearing Xiang Long's words, Xiaobei laughed happily.
After more than three hours of travel, the group finally arrived at the hotel, which is quite characteristic, with tent huts built in the jungle along a seasonal river.
However, this cottage is not small, it is basically a small villa, the only difference is that the roof here is tent-like, hidden between the mountains and forests, elegant and luxurious.
You can sit on the terrace outside the hut and watch the buffalo and antelope with champagne, lie in the bathtub and watch the elephants and zebras while listening to music, or lie on the bed and tease the giraffe with a leaf.
All in all, it's quite an interesting hotel.
Since this treasure hunt has become a vacation trip, everyone has settled down to play, even Zhao Yang completely let go of his worries and started playing.
Yi Xiaonan took Yi Xiaobei and Wang Lin to occupy the largest villa among them, with just three rooms, comfortable and tight.
Zhao Yang, who settled down, sighed at this time, such a good place, he didn't bring a girl.
On the first day, there was naturally no itinerary arranged, everyone drank in the room, chatted, and lay on the terrace to see these buffalo herds or something, but it was also very leisurely.
In the evening, everyone went to the hotel's restaurant for dinner.
The restaurant here is still quite large, built on the riverside, and there are various dishes in it, but it is mainly based on meat and fruits, with special African singers singing, plus the sound of insects and the brilliant starry sky outside the restaurant, which is particularly charming.
Zhao Yang sat in the restaurant and looked around, but unfortunately, although there were more than a dozen guests in this restaurant, they were basically European and American, a pair of people, a family, and there was not even a girl who could catch the eye!
Compared with the depressed Zhao Yang, the little couple of Xiaobei and Wang Lin was very happy, and after dinner, they also went to the outside of the restaurant to participate in the bonfire party, and had a lot of fun with the natives arranged by the hotel.
Looking at the two people who were having fun around the bonfire with the natives, Zhao Yang depressedly gestured to Yi Xiaonan with a beer, and said, "Come on, drink and drink!"
As if Xiaonan chuckled, touched him gently, and drank with him.
"Xiao Nan, do you think there are any chances of finding Chiyang Jade this time?" After a few glasses of wine, Zhao Yang made a sad face.
"Well, there are still six or seven percent!" Yi Xiaonan smiled and said with relief: "Don't worry, there is Jin Lao Liu, the probability of finding it is at least two or three times higher than looking for it ourselves, so don't think about it so much!"
"And now there are eleven or twelve days before the New Year, we will stay here for another four days; if we can't find it again, let's go back to China to Yun@ South, and here will be handed over to Jin Lao Liu to continue to find;
Listening to Yi Xiaonan's words, the smile on Zhao Yang's face emerged, and he said happily: "Come, let's drink again!"
"Okay!" As if Xiaonan touched Zhao Yang lightly, raised his head and drank half a glass, he suddenly seemed to see something, put down the wine glass with a smile, and gestured behind Zhao Yang.
"Huh?" Zhao Yang was slightly stunned, and then looked behind him.
When I looked back, I saw that behind the two tables behind me, there were two beautiful and lovely girls sitting there eating at some point, looking like Chinese people, and there was no one else around, like a girlfriend who came out alone.
At that moment, Zhao Yang's eyes lit up, and he squeezed his eyes towards Yi Xiaonan, then reached out and brushed his hair, got up and walked towards the two beauties over there.
Looking at the refreshed Zhao Yang, Xiao Nan shook his head with a wry smile;
Holding a beer, while sipping it gently, he casually looked at Xiao Bei and Wang Lin, who were dancing happily hand in hand with the natives, and the smile in Xiao Nan's eyes became a little more relaxed.
It's just that a delicate figure gradually appeared in front of him, making his brows frown slightly.
Not long after, Zhao Yang came back dejectedly.
"What's the matter? You Yang Shao's charm can't even be handled?" Looking at Zhao Yang's depressed appearance, Xiao Nan couldn't help but laugh.
"It's not that I can't do it, but I can't communicate at all!" Zhao Yang said depressedly: "These two girls are Korean, a mouthful of Korean, and my English is not very good, it's like a chicken and a duck!
"I'll forget it!" Yi Xiaonan chuckled, raised his glass, and said, "Come, let's continue drinking?"
"Drink!" Zhao Yang raised his glass and snorted lightly, raised his head and took a sip.
The two girls over there, looking at Zhao Yang's appearance, suddenly snickered softly.
"Yun'er, it seems that this guy shouldn't know us!" One of the cute girls with short hair with ear-length ears said with a smile: "Actually, he looks quite handsome!"
"Hey, Yingmei, don't be a nymphomaniac, let's finally sneak out to play, and we specially picked South Africa; if there is any scandal, don't think about going out again in the future!" Yun'er, who had long hair, touched her forehead with a headache, her beautiful big eyes were full of helplessness, and said, "Let's play obediently for a few days and go back!"
"Okay, but it's too boring just the two of us!" Eimi pouted in frustration.
"Yes, yes, when are we not bored, you are not used to it!, just feel at ease for two days!" Yun'er shrugged her shoulders gently, her eyes smiling like a crescent moon, very cute.
That night, Xiaobei and Wang Lin had too much fun, and it wasn't until more than eleven o'clock that they returned to the room exhausted.
So the next day, Xiaobei and Wang Lin both got up a little late, and Zhao Yang drank a little too much yesterday, so he got up a little late.
However, everyone is here to play, so it seems that Xiaonan did not deliberately ask a few people to get up, after he got up early, he boiled a pot of soup medicine on a small gas stove and took it, and continued to fight for three hours.
When it was almost ten o'clock, Zhao Yang and Yi Xiaobei got up and ate some breakfast a little, so the hotel arranged a car to drive everyone to the depths of the park.
Of course, this kind of itinerary means that the car goes around the park in a big circle, so that everyone can try their luck and see the wildlife around them.
However, the hotel itself is already relatively close to the interior of the park, so this circle can almost reach the center of the park, so if you are lucky, you can meet more predators.
The vehicles in the hotel are basically open-top green off-road vehicles, of course, the so-called open-top still has a roof, but it is empty on both sides, so that people can get as close as possible to the surrounding wildlife and watch the surrounding wildlife.
However, such a vehicle also has some disadvantages, that is, it is not safe enough, and if some beasts get too close, it may still hurt the tourists in the car.
This is also the reason why the park requires some notice of responsibility when entering the park.
As the off-road vehicle moved forward, as it gradually left the hotel area, some wild animals appeared more and more frequently, and even within two hours, everyone saw two leopards and a lioness, which made Yi Xiaobei and Wang Lin excited.
At this time, a voice came from the driver's walkie-talkie, and after the driver picked it up and talked a few words, he excitedly said to everyone: "Two kilometers ahead, someone has discovered a big scene, and everyone has a good eye!"
Listening to the driver's words, everyone became excited, and the car roared and began to accelerate forward.
