Jungle camping

Today we are going camping in the tropical rain forest. In three off road cars we head out into the wild. Our camping site is about three hours drive from Paramaribo.
Every Surinami loves his hammock.
Our camp site is situated on the banks of a creek. Local Amerindians have developed the site and facilitate the guests.
Once the camp fire is lit and the bottles of brandy and whisky are opened the stories begin.
Many Surinamis love to hunt. Our friends are no exception, so they set off into the forest to hunt for deer, pigs and rabbits. Unfortunately they returned empty-handed and drenched by the rains.
