In late September, An Feng and Joanna spent some time to get vaccinated, mainly yellow fever vaccines, typhoid vaccines, etc. Because Africa has poor sanitary conditions and many infectious diseases, vaccination is a precaution. Then, everyone discussed the trip schedule on the Internet and on the phone.

Considering that everyone has children (maids) to study, the itinerary is relatively small, and the weekend is only five days, and there is only one place: Tanzania. Anfeng has heard of some of the countries in East Africa: Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and other regions. The number of wild animals is the largest, and the easiest to be on the classic TV programs such as the Animal World and the Animal Kingdom.

Entering Tanzania is not complicated - An Feng and Joanna enjoy visa-free, the reason..., the citizens of the Commonwealth countries are naturally visa-free. But Americans cannot do it, so they can only sign up for an additional $50! Or go to the consulate to get a visa. An Feng, who knows the truth, is happy.

The Americans took some time to handle the procedures. When they were late Saturday morning, everyone brought their luggage to New York. There were eight people on the trip. Except for An Feng and Joanna, the Bazer and Matthew all arrived. They boarded the Gulfstream G550 business jet and were full of yearning for the upcoming journey.

More than six hours after taking off, we first landed in Casablanca, the Kingdom of Morocco. Because the total distance was too far, we could not arrive at one time and needed to replenish fuel in the middle. At this time, the weather was also shining. As the busiest airport in Morocco, passengers from various countries were shuttled through the terminal building.

Waiting was boring, so everyone listened to Bazel's story.

"Tanzania's social level is definitely far inferior to South Africa, but it is better to stay in the United States if you go to South Africa to see animals! Population and industrial development have affected the purity of nature, and commercialization has also made it lose the original flavor of Africa. Only in Kenya, Tanzania can appreciate the purest style. Tanzania's wild animals are among the best in the world. It is six or seven times more than Kenya."

An Feng asked curiously: "Bazel, how did you think of building a zoo there?"

Bazer smiled: "I was interested in it at first. I said that the zoo is not very accurate. It should be a nature conservation park that integrates research and adoption. I am just an investor, and the real management of locals and scholars. Every year, the film crews are in the middle of my place because the conditions are better."

An Feng asked again: "Since it is a private place, hunting must be quite convenient, right?"

Bazer nodded: "Of course, management is much more relaxed than in the United States, but it also has to be done according to government regulations. There are seasonal regulations for hunting species. It needs to be reported, and each prey will be priced clearly. But in recent years, the hunting permits for large animals such as lions, leopards and elephants have been decreasing."

An Feng asked: "Can elephants kill them? Isn't they endangered?"

"That depends on the place. It's like China's wild deer flocks are rare, but the reason is that it is flooded in the United States is the same. There are still quite a lot of elephants in East Africa. Too many elephants are pushing down big trees to find food. The government often hunts a certain number of elephants due to forest protection needs to reduce the economic losses caused. Therefore, according to international conventions, it is allowed to hunt a small number of elephants every year, but only for the elderly."

An Feng understood: "Kill the elderly but not the young, this is good."

Bazer said: "But poachers don't pay attention to these things. They come to stare at ivory and rhino horns. In the past few years, the security guards hired by the park have caught more than 20 poachers and seized a large number of ivory. The poachers' ended up being quite miserable. The locals hung them all on trees before the government arrived."

An Feng knew the meaning of this. It is not necessary to say much about what it means to hang on trees in such a wilderness in Africa.

...

I heard Bazel, who has rich experience, talked about many African legends and found that he was not just a white hunter on the African continent. The hunter was just one of them. He was also a wildlife protector. He invested in building protection parks every year to guard against poaching and provide a research environment.

He has a private protection park in northern Tanzania, covering an area of ​​nearly 1,000 square kilometers. It covers a freshwater lake and vast plains, has a group of security teams, usually patrolling around, driving away poachers, and receiving support and commendation from the government. He is also an outstanding figure.

Everyone listened with relish and yearned for Africa more. Two hours later, boarded the plane and flew from Casablanca to Duodoma, the capital of Tanzania. It took more than six hours. When they arrived over Tanzania, the sun was hanging above their heads and the plane landed carefully.

The airport is very ordinary, just a runway, and the number of flights is very small. After getting off the plane, the heat waves rushed towards you. Anfeng looked up at the sky. The scorching sun was hanging high and the whole year remains unchanged. This is East Africa, a typical tropical region, stepping around the Earth's equatorial line, and there will never be winter.

But Duoduoma is not the destination. Their journey has just begun. Bazer obviously has no intention of staying. After everyone completes the entry procedures, they will take them on a single-engine fixed-wing aircraft. It is very common in the United States. It costs about one million yuan and can be used both amphibiously and land after modification.

The person flying the plane was a middle-aged white man wearing a T-shirt and big shorts and sunglasses, which was very casual.

The plane took off smoothly on the cement runway and left the city. The captain deliberately lowered the flight altitude and looked at the wilderness below. There were vast grasslands and numerous animals everywhere... This was not the peak season for tourism, but it was also the peak season, with many European and American tourists.

The destination is somewhere in Manyara and cannot be found on the map, but for veteran hikers, it is a very famous gathering place, with airports and hotels. The living conditions in East Africa are harsh and are usually camping in camps. Hotels are a rare place, let alone owning airports.

In fact, that "airport" was a bit unworthy of its name... When the captain was about to land, An Feng could only see a bare dirt runway down.

"Are you sure?" An Feng turned to look at his companions beside him.

The runway became clear, just like the reason why there is basically no cement road in this country. Most roads, including the airplane runway, are dirt and not very long... It's quite scary. No wonder the business planes cannot stop. If you need to change to a heavier plane, landing will probably be a life-threatening thing.

During the landing, everyone looked at it with fear. But Bazel easily talked to Matthew about his next plan. His face was stable and his emotions were calm... The plane bumped on the runway and stopped steadily. During the process, everyone was sweating.

Everyone walked off the plane one after another and breathed a sigh of relief after being down to the ground.

Bazel looked at everyone's expressions and said with a smile: "I have flew this track dozens of times, and I have tried all the harsh environments here. For this light fixed wing, unless it is a pile of gravel, Kyle (the captain) can easily stop. He used to be a fighter pilot!"

"If you could say it earlier, we wouldn't be nervous." An Feng joked and praised the pilot without hesitation.

Kyle, who came down at the end, smiled and bowed: "Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your trust, and finally I wish you a happy journey!"

After getting off the plane, I felt that the weather was getting hotter. When I was waiting for the pick-up and drop-off, I started to take off my clothes. Bazer also reminded: "Be careful of sun protection. The ultraviolet rays here are very strong. Be careful of getting sunburned. Put on your clothes first. We will choose some sunshade equipment later."

"I have this!" Joanna took out a pair of sunglasses from her backpack.

After a few minutes, the car that picked them up and dropped them up came. I thought they were all pickup trucks or big bread, but I didn't expect it to be quite high-end. The three black Jeep Wranglers were obviously modified, with wide and large wheels, and they were still diesel versions. After all, there was basically no gasoline in Africa.

The convoy left the airport, walked along the dirt road through the souvenir market, and headed to the hotel outside the country - actually only about two kilometers away -. After arriving, I found it was a three-storey building, which was very good, with a restaurant and a swimming pool, and the grass in the backyard was soft. Everyone will stay here too.

From the hotel window, you can see the vast grassland around you. The green grass is sparse, and it looks like it is withered and yellow. Occasionally, a few animals hide under the shade of trees and grass to see shade and cool down. It is hard to see whether it is an antelope or wildebeest. An Feng and Joanna lay by the window staring at it.

"Give you some equipment." An Feng handed the telescope he took out to Joanna.

Joanna looked at it with a telescope: "It's amazing! I saw two giraffes!"

"Where?" An Feng took her telescope and found her long neck in a weed that was probably tall, shaking her head...fighting!

"They are fighting, and a third one is here!" said An Feng.

"Let me see," said Joanna.

They exchanged telescopes and stared at the wonderful scene in the distance. Other passengers also noticed that the camera kept clicking. Unfortunately, the two stupid fights failed to continue, and the giraffes who rushed over were persuading the fight. Soon, just as nothing had happened, they continued to eat leaves.

This cute look attracted everyone's laughter.

They gathered in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel, and the air conditioning was placed in a sharp contrast with the scorching sun outside the window. After An Feng and Joanna found Bazel, Matthew and Christina hurriedly ran in from outside the door, saying, "It's so scary! The temperature outside is so scary!"

An Feng said: "In such a hot afternoon, I dare not stand in the sun for ten seconds."

Bazer said: "Don't worry, we will basically spend our time in the car in the future, there will be no strong sun, and it may rain these days."

Everyone had lunch, and the pace of Africa was a bit slow. Whether it was a waiter or a chef who cooked food, the pace of life was very slow. Fortunately, Bazer was the boss of this area - including hotels, restaurants, airports, and safari parks, he contracted it.

The boss was present, and the speed was much faster.

After a meal, we returned to the shop we passed by. The most were carved handicrafts, masks, and some paintings, but not many people bought them. We took a look and finally chose some Arabic-style headscarves and facial towels, which were both sun-shades and breathable.

They each put on a headscarf, a hat, and a pair of sunglasses for sun protection, and a breathable jacket. They walked to the nearby zoo together, saying that the zoo was a bit too narrow. In fact, except for the adoption center, there are all open areas there except for the fence and houses.

In other words, wild animals can come over or leave at any time without anyone taking control.

The fences are all raised in adopted animals or are being studied. The tickets are symbolized by 5 US dollars, and there are many tourists. It is said that there will be more tourist seasons. Although there is no primitive nature in the wild, there is a very good link here - being able to contact animals.
