Chapter 1326: Lake Banweulu, Mundavanga Botanical Gardens!

In the next few days, everyone stayed in Zambia for a few more days!

Spots such as Lake Tanganyika and Lake Banweulu, Mundavanga Botanical Gardens, etc. have all been to play around!

Although Lake Tanganyika is spectacular, the most worth mentioning is the abundant freshwater fish in the lake!

Especially the most popular crucian carp, whether it is grilled by the locals or stewed in crucian carp soup, it is very delicious!

And it is worth mentioning the ecological environment around Lake Tanganyika!

The ecological environment around Lake Tanganyika is very humid, which completely changed Zhao Feng and his party's impression of the barren and arid Africa!

What's more, everyone has seen the magnificent Victoria Falls before!

On Lake Tanganyika, everyone saw many birds unique to Africa. In fact, Lake Tanganyika is also known as the kingdom of birds!

Because they are not only large in number, but also many species, such as white-breasted crows, red-throated finch, turtle dove, egret, yellow warbler, gray stork, parrot, etc., and the famous flamingo, which is also commonly known as flamingo !

The neck and feet of the flamingo are slender, the mouth is stubby and slightly curved, and the white feathers on the whole body shine with a faint pink luster. It is as thin as a crane, but more beautiful than a crane.

In addition to these beautiful creatures like angels, Zhao Feng and his party also saw a group of hippos and crocodiles by the lake. These two groups were hundreds of meters away, and even a crocodile broke away from the group and went to the hippo. Tried to prey over there, but soon the hippo's thick skin and massive, heavy body told the crocodile how nasty it was!

In a short time, the crocodile ran back in despair!

In addition to crocodiles and hippos, there are many other animals on the narrow lake shore, such as elephants, lions, antelopes, giraffes, etc. that everyone has seen before!

It does show a vibrant scene!

It is also worth mentioning that the local guide introduced the vegetation in the area around Lake Tanganyika!

Around Lake Tanganyika, the forest is lush, and various tropical trees are competing to grow.

The most striking thing is that the banana forest is continuous and lush, and the bunch of heavy bananas are mouth-watering, and the farmhouses are hidden in the banana forest.

Bananas are not only one of the staple foods of local residents, but also banana wine made from bananas is a traditional drink for local residents. The degree of banana wine is not high, and the taste is sweet and delicious. People who drink a lot can drink two or three pounds a day. In some places, people also drink banana wine as water.

The group of people also tasted some of this banana wine at the restaurant where they rested on the road!

The taste of this drink is a bit unique, and the taste is not unpleasant!

There's nothing wrong with trying a novelty!

In addition, there is a tree with a peculiar shape. This tree is different from ordinary trees. It has no branches and no broken leaves. On the top of the slender and sturdy trunk, there are long green and dripping broad leaves. These broad leaves do not spread around like ordinary trees, they just spread out to both sides neatly, like a peacock with an open screen, but also like a fan. This is the famous traveler tree, and some people call it "peacock tree" ", "Fan tree".

Some other tropical plants are countless!

Zhao Feng and his party really felt a little dizzy during this trip, so they took quite a lot of photos!

And the Banweiulu Lake that followed did not disappoint Zhao Feng and his party!

Compared with the well-known Lake Tanganyika, Lake Banweulu does not seem to be well-known, but as more and more scenery is seen by more people, this scenic lake has also ushered in more attention!

The Banweulu Lake, the Banweulu Marsh and the Banweulu Plain are located in the upper Congo River basin in the Apra Province of Zambia and the Northern Province of Africa, at an altitude of 1140 meters. Together, they form the largest wetland system in the world and one of the most important ecosystems in the world.

Benweulu Lake is the backbone system of the Benweulu wetlands, it is 4 meters deep on average and covers an area of ​​about 3000 square kilometers, but it increases at the end of the rainy season in May as the Benweulu wetlands and the Benweulu plains are inundated to 15,000 square kilometers; the Benweulu wetlands are usually slightly larger than the Banweulu Lake, with an area of ​​about 9,000 square kilometers, and are submerged during the rainy season to become part of the Benweulu wetland system.

The swamp grows with lush vegetation and plays an extremely important role in protecting the Luapula Valley from floods; the Banweulu Plain covers an area of ​​about 3,000 square kilometers and is submerged during the rainy season to become Banweulu An important part of wetland systems, but often overgrown with green grass during the dry season, making for a great place for grazing.

The Banweulu Wetland System Area is home to many precious wild animals and birds. The lake area is richer in fish resources and is one of the largest fish producing areas in Zambia.

The scenery is not much better than that of Lake Tanganyika!

Compared with the scenery of Lake Tanganyika and Lake Banweulu, the scenery of Mundavanga Botanical Garden was not expected by Zhao Feng, but He Jianguo said that this is also a must in Zambia. After going to the attractions once!

Zhao Feng, Ye Xiner, Yang Zixin, and the others, with the idea of ​​going to check in, visited this botanical garden that has a wide reputation around the world!

The Mundavanga Botanical Garden is located in a valley 20 kilometers southwest of Ruwaka, which is not too far away!

While "Mondavanga" means "my garden" in the local language, this botanical garden built in the 1950s was created by horticulturalist Sander.

The park area is only 80 mu square, but more than 3,000 kinds of plants are planted, including fruit trees, medicinal plants, woody grain and oil plants, green tree species and various economic crops, most of which are rare species imported from abroad.

There are even ginkgo biloba from the north of the country, almond grass from California, pine trees from the Mexican plateau, and kapok from Portugal. There is a meticulously stacked rockery in the park, and more than 20 kinds of succulent plants such as cactus, cactus whip, cactus fist, and cactus are cultivated on the mountain.

The cactus whip of the Mundavanga Botanical Garden is thick and straight, several meters high, and the cactus segments are as large as palm fans.

There are palm trees unique to Zambia on the river bank at the foot of the rockery. The locals call them "Fewale". The trees are tens of meters high and 4 to 5 meters in circumference. The petioles are extremely long, both broad and thick, grayish-white, and they make a loud noise. It is a very hard, high-quality wood.

There is also a famous tree "Mowab" in the park. The tree is straight, the crown is flat and round, and the wood texture is fine, solid and light. It is the main material for making "African drums".

I have to say that this botanical garden can be said to be a small sparrow, but it has all the internal organs!

Especially in this size of land, there are some unique plants from all over the world, especially many plants are not in line with the local tropical climate, but they are still full of vitality!

Apparently well taken care of!
