    The dark clouds are a swarm(s) of young mozzies who having bred and mantured over the swamps on the otherside of Lake Malawi are now on the move, we thought was a smoke cloud, they came through our camp and the sky darkened......

    You in the landy our the merc? @DemocKot only ever went into Goma on a beer run when the volcano went south the rest of the place was a no go as of 97
    edit are the landy. Those lake flys taste like shit and smell just as bad worse than sandflies but don’t bite but they do go every where when the swarm. The last thing you need in your beer is twenty of these little feckers

    Land y, that was a transport freight truck, came across a few overlandering companies in the old Bedfords as was the fashion in those days, we could sail past them when they were stuck........ had a few passengers wanting to come with us instead.....

    Wow a Shoebill think I saw two..but with over 600 different kinds of birds it gets to be a bit of a blur.
    I heard that it was really special up there!
    Went through Bawindi a few times on the back road to Queen Elizabeth Nat. Now that is a cool road Colobus monkeys in the trees chimps and loads of other game. Like something out of the jungle book. Tough drive though and you would get smashed tsetse fly. Definitely a day to wear white. Mind you you would look like a terracotta pot at the other end @YosemiteSam

    Very good Nga
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
