Police and thieves

The lovely people at the Nile River Lodge allow camping which means that you spend just $20 but get access to their incredible views (and the terrace built out over the river), their bar and restaurant, and apparently also their pool.

They also insisted in providing us with our very own security guard all night. We wondered who on earth might trouble us this far out, and then we realised... not humans, but these guys! To them, tent equals food.

The guard went way beyond the call of duty though, putting up little petrol lanterns, making a bonfire, and even washing our car for us!
