From the terraces of the light-coloured wooden rooms, overlooking the mighty Zambezi, you can hear the rolling of the river, the songs of the birds, the roars and hoarse grunts of the hippos wallowing in the nearby swamps. These bellowing sounds increase in intensity when they fight with their fellow hippos, sometimes at the cost of bloody battles, to conquer a female. At nightfall, they come out of the water to explore the riverbanks and go inland to graze. This is why an armed ranger keeps watch around the lodge at night.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/avertissement3353-Copier.jpg\" alt=\"Namibie.

A slow boat ride that allows us to contemplate the life of the river, the vast pastures lining the banks where cows graze, some of which are sometimes eaten by crocodiles, or the farmers who travel by boat. <br>The vast grasslands that stretch along the banks and the thorny savannahs are the favourite haunts of impala, kudu and other antelope, and the refuge of many birds. It is also the larder of the lions, who try to advance lying down for a feast that often fails. The monkeys have spotted them and sounded the alarm in a language that all the animals understand.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_3365-Copier.jpg\" alt=\"Botswana.

During these cruises, we sometimes come across fishermen who come to tease the famous tiger fish (<em>tigerfish<\/em>), bream (<em>bream<\/em>) or tilapia. We can't get enough of these water and land excursions. After the morning's observations, we return to the lodge for lunch and a siesta, during the hottest part of the day. In the evening, night falls gently over the savannah, giving it that distinctive orange colour. We listen to storytellers from the village on the neighbouring island of Impalila tell us about local life and the history of Namibia. Before drifting off to sleep, lulled by the surrounding sounds.
