点评:We very much enjoyed our visit to Crescent Island (23 January 2025), including the close encounters with giraffes and water buck. However, we very unhappy indeed about a close encounter with a buffalo at the north end of the island. We would have walked straight into it if we had not happened by chance to change our route walking along the shoreline a couple of minutes earlier. These are, infamously, very dangerous animals indeed. There was no warning at the entrance about the presence or possible presence of buffalos on the island, we not discouraged from walking freely wherever we wished, and there was no recommendation to take a guide (or indeed a ranger, which would have been more appropriate where buffalo are present). This could have been deadly. Crescent Island is a great place, but visitors should walk with extreme care if they venture off the beaten track.
翻译:我们非常享受新月岛之旅(2025 年 1 月 23 日),包括与长颈鹿和羚羊的近距离接触。然而,我们非常不高兴在岛的北端与一头水牛近距离接触。如果不是我们碰巧在几分钟前改变了沿着海岸线行走的路线,我们就会直接走进去。这些动物确实非常危险。入口处没有警告岛上有水牛或可能存在水牛,我们也没有被劝阻自由行走,也没有建议带上导游(或者实际上是护林员,在有水牛的地方更合适)。这可能是致命的。新月岛是一个很棒的地方,但如果游客冒险走人迹罕至的地方,他们应该格外小心。
