Jungle Night Sounds

We would spend our second night in Kenya sleeping in a lodge in the middle of the jungle. There was no television, and the hotel was almost empty. Joumana and I each did some book reading, and then fell asleep early. But jetlag made us wake up a few times during the night.

Animals growling, monkeys singing, and large insects whistling, were all I can hear in this African wild orchestra. It wasn’t a noise that woke me up. It was more like a calm and soothing jungle lullaby that was melodious. It wasn’t like anything I had heard before, except on some adventure Hollywood movies.

Joumana had confused some of the primate screams. In the morning when we woke up, she thought the neighbours were having sex all night, in a loud and beast-like way. But I am sure that what she heard was jungle sound from the animals, and no neighbour was playing love sports.
