Miscellaneous: When you are going to spend the night in the Wechiau Hippo Sanctuary, you should make sure you take enough food and drinks with you! Inside the park there is nothing you can get. And in the village of Wechiau there is hardly anything to buy either -except on marketdays- so it's wise to buy it when you leave in Wa.
I didn't, so I had to find everything in Wechiau. I had dinner with bread and boiled eggs, some water to drink and with some roasted corn we got from the canoe-man who is a farmer in this area too.
Make sure you have a lot of water, because during a long day in the heat you should drink at least 3 liters of water!
