Central Africa/Congo Basin

Giant Kingfisher. <br />
<br />
The lagoon at Akaka and the surrounding waterways were beautiful, but they were infested with very aggressive tsetse flies. Several of us suffered allergic reactions to the bites, causing much misery. In addition to the injured leg, I now had festering, blistering, oozing fly bites head to toe. Have to admit, I expected insects and came prepared, but there was no way to fend off these nasty critters.
