GOOD FENCES - Vwasa Lodge , Malawi (Part 4)

Once again I ask you to think a bit, ‘out of the box’ for this post.  Now you know I am on a series from Malawi and at present am at the Vwasa Lodge Park so to be “safe” we are fenced in our car!! So what you see is outside the fence!


Mainly Hippopotamus with White- faced Whistling Ducks.



Oops!   A rebel in the camp as Daniel, my grandson is now outside the fence! 
On the dangerous side!!! 


My granddaughter, Annika walks over to where the Malawian men cooked for us but you can see one standing there making sure she is safe.



That is where we eat.  Not very well ‘fenced’ in but that is the way it was!


Lastly the fish are fenced in this basin 
although I think one is thinking of escaping!  

I am afraid this post is a bit 'tongue in cheek' and I hope Tex forgives me and you have enjoyed it nevertheless . 

I am linking this post with GOOD FENCES.

Thank you for visiting and also to all those who leave comments.

  1. I love your take on fences today! We're off to St Lucia this morning. And will stop at the bridge over the estuary to photograph hippos! And crocodiles. And swallows. And...

  4. Wow, I am surprised those fence would hold up against a hippo. The hippos and the ducks are an awesome sighting. Is it that dangerous you had to have a guard? Wonderful fence shots, enjoy your day!

  8. hey, i saw a rickety fence in front of those hippos (not that it would keep anything in or out, but it looks like a fence.) :)

  16. Love seeing the Hippos and the Whistlers. It is nice to see how the buildings/huts are built and to see the land is so dry. Love the fish shot!

  17. Great post. The Hippos are so cool and there was a fence in those shots. - I like your "out of the box" thinking though. Your grandkids sure are getting a great education visiting all these places.

  18. I don't see the fence, so you did well in hiding it. You all look so out in the open. But your guards are probably pros and know when you should leave.This little straw pavilion is such a pretty place to eat! And where the men cook is adorable, I could live there! So it is only the men who cook?

  23. I enjoyed your humor Margaret, and also your photos. Those hippos are amazing to look at and I realize they can be very dangerous. Looks like you were well protected.

  24. I did enjoy your outside-the-box post, Margaret. Very creative approach to the idea of putting up (for safety) or escaping (for freedom) barriers. How fortunate are your grandkids!!

  25. I'm glad you weren't relying on that fence in the first couple of shots (quaint as it is) to keep you safe. Really enjoyed your post.

  27. Such wonderful adventures you are having! There is that fence in the water. It's primitive but a fence for sure. Your elephant pics in the next post are wonderful too. Sorry I haven't been around. My immune system is giving me a few problems this week.
