... loads of photos. I also saw loads of baboons and a strange looking deer. The last thing we did in Zambia was watch crazy people jump off Victoria Falls bridge. Having bungeed in Australia I had no desire to do another one, but it was fun watching them.

After my walk on the wild side I decided to take it one further and go on a walk with some lion cubs.   After my briefing about the do's and don’ts I was armed with a stick (!!!???) for my protection.  Thankfully I didn’t need ...

Kayaking on the Zambezi
