It seems like the hydraulics would be dangerous...as well as the underwater obstacles being dangerous to limbs, spine, etc?

That harmless little python in Togo looks like the two I used to have as pets-but it looks to be about a foot bigger. I guess accidental bites aren't the issue I thought-the idea came into my head while watching a venom documentary, and they interviewed a Kruger national Park game ranger who was bitten by a black mamba, received no antivenom and survived anyway.(hospital didn't believe a mamba had bitten him, said he should have already been dead).That along with seeing the shorts on the hunting shows made me wonder, and after the above posts I'd probably be wearing shorts too---My Cape buffalo hunt is years in the future, if it ever happens. We all need dreams right??

As far as I understood back then, the hydroelectrical dam will ruin the rapids below it (northwards), as the amount of water in the river will then vary a lot more then it does naturally.

Back to the snakes, it was in the eddies where we entered and exited the water that they could sometimes be seen. And obviously not in the rapids themselves.
