Testies Survival Kit: Compass

ITEM USED: Compass

COUNTRY USED IN: Zambia

CHALLENGE OVERCOME: Hippo Tracking

Hippos can be hard to spot. So I turned to my trusty Testies Survival Kit for support. And it gave me the compass. So I set out to try to locate the nearest water hole in which hippo may reside.

I quickly found a waterhole. But couldn't see any hippos.

I consulted my compass:

Which told me this way:

But that didn't seem right, so I had another look:

And removed my sunglasses for a better look still:

And it took me north towards the South Luangwa river:

But I had a funny feeling something was looking at me:

So I returned to the waterhole:

And saw this:

I was very very happy that yet again, my Testies Survival Kit had been the reason for yet another awesome sighting on the BigTrip!

NB: When we tried to return to the waterhole later that day, the camp site owner strictly forbid us to do so as hippos are very dangerous. We therefore wish to inform you dear readers that no Jennies, Seans or hippos were harmed in the making of this film.
