An explorer was in a dilemma. He needed to travel north-west to his camp. In between was a large crocodile infested swamp. If he travelled north and then west, he had to go over a mountain range. If he travelled west and then north, he would encounter a fierce tribe of natives.

In which direction would the explorer have to start to go if he decided to go past the fierce tribe towards the camp?

north-west
