Picnic in the bush somewhat marred by Frau Kris. Not only did she smoke through the muesli, the egg sandwiches and the fruit, she also began throwing small pieces of food to the local birds. Our guide went literally berko. He told her that interfering in any way with the natural habitat by feeding the animals was not only totally forbidden but also very dangerous because animals then begin to expect humans to feed them and become enraged if they don't continue to cough up. Apparently the baboons at the Ngorongoro crater gate now eschew their own native fruit and seeds because once they were given a bite of a cheese sandwich and now that's all they fancy, plus they'll go to great lengths to get one, including snatching it from your sweaty paw while you're scoffing it and if they take a piece of your face with it, then so much the better.
