Without a doubt, everyone saw the Oscarancy cartoon "King-Alev" to see the places where the events developed, I went so far in the heart of Tanzania, National National Reserve Ngorongoro and Lake Manyar. On the way, African Lodge arose, as if from nowhere. So you go and suddenly-written by the hand on the village pointer. We met our bread-salt, so the necessary wet towel heated to the body temperature. Sudden, unexpected care and tenderness by the Aboriginal, shocked slightly. A cup of juice for drying from dust throat, he seemed to us with heavenly dew. But the most interesting began when we entered the lodge, comfort is simply impressive. Outwardly, he looked quite simple, it is a Mazanka under the straw roofs. But the interest is that they are "breathing", such a dwelling does not heat up in the sun and is blocked by a breeze, the furniture in the room was from expensive wood, from rattan and straw, bamboo and cane.
The touching item - I brought me simply to the tears, on the pillow every evening we were expected by candy, carefully left for sweet dreams, and on a bedside table every evening, a print appeared with the text of the African fairy tale (in English) and every day. The view from the window is not just surprised-delighted, here they reason on the principle: let the numbers be not much, but everything will be. We lived in the lodge with five rooms, but with the verandas on the lake. A flock of antelope and zebras came to the aqueta, and sitting on the veranda in the rays of the setting sun in our eyes appeared a picture of a pair of elephants, a giraffe and one rhinoceros. Two days later, we saw, then why did you come, "King Lion". He impliedly passed by us to the stroit of the lake, honestly, barely restrained, whatever healed from delight. Masai's tribe next to whom we lived, it was not so militant, as it was assumed, the main thing in the morning I woke up to shout "Jambo" - "Hi" the tribe in the era of civilization, retained its traditions, women walk shaved naked with two knocked front teeth.
On the trip it is worth capturing a bunch of baubles, key chains, beads and other little things and do not forget to stock small bills - all this is much easier to facilitate mutual understanding with local. From the traditional dinner -crow the cattle with milk, we politely refused, although all members of the tribe insisted.
Two days after arrival in the early morning, we left our lodge and at the jeeps (I saw only in old American films) I rushed to the National Park of Taragir. My first shock is a huge territory of the reserve, the second-number of seen animals, there was no minute that I would see the representative of the fauna: dozens of buffaloes, antelope, herd of zebras. There is a buzz and hopot hoofs, you understand that you are in Africa.
Without a doubt Tanzania, he will remain the most vivid impression in my life.
