... br><br>One of my favorite things about the lions is how they greet people and each, which is by making a sort of low moaning sound and rubbing against whoever it is they are greeting. Sometimes they would flop over on our feet as well, usually just for a quick pat before they got up again. The moaning seems to be kind of their substitute for purring. I tried to record it a couple of times using the video ...

... an elephant safari, which was a lot of fun. The only downside was that it cost $150 and we only got to spend about an hour on the elephants, which wasn't enough! We saw some impala and lots of birds, but nothing too exciting -- but just being on the elephants as they waded across a river was pretty great. My favorite part, though, was watching the baby elephants, without riders, following the group along our route. I'm not sure if ...

Its a hippo???<br>I got my camera and unzipped my tent................just in time i managed to shoot the culprit (with my camera) ...............My tresspasser , as i ...

... hard as he steered our boat into the fast moving and choppy current. We didn&#8217;t make it. So he turned us around and again and we fought our way upstream for another go. On our third try we did make it, but by that point I wasn&#8217;t feeling all that confident in our rowing abilities. And, as the day wore on I pinpointed the problem easily. <br><br>When we had first gotten in the raft the guide had said we needed the two strongest ...

... to get ready. When we arrived to where our guide was supposed to meet us the tour operators said we needed pants, and so we ran back to our tents to change hurriedly. In the car, on the way to the Lion Walk, we picked up another couple making us eight. Krista &amp; Kevin, Chris &amp; Hollie, the couple, and us. At the Lion Walk they explained that the entire thing was a rehabilitation program to ensure the survival of the ...

I'm more rested today and feeling great. This is our first morning where we were not up and rolling by 6:30am. So last night we both slept well. Of course, we woke up quite naturally at 6:45am today...always the way, right!<br><br>I want to go back to our safari and tell you a little about it. We were met in Maun by Russell who was our guide for the 9 days we were in Botswana. He is from South Africa and a delight and we all got ...

... boat. The weather was perfect, nice and sunny, we floated down the river being directed to either side depending on were the animals were. Chobe was just teeming with life, we saw croc's, elepant, a pile of hippos (literally - 40 hippos laying all over each other on the banks of the river) birds, cape buffalo monkeys, lizards and more. Then we wanted sun set over the river which was spectacular. <br><br>We ...

... holding their tails. The cubs were 12 / 13 months old. My photos, which I will post when I get to a faster computer, will better show the interaction that we had with the lion cubs. I have one photo with just the lion's mouth wide open full frame showing all of his teeth (he was yawning!). <br><br>The African Lion and Environment Research Trust are using these lions to breed further lions who will be released back into the wild ...

... photos that I was able to take and was quite pleased with them.<br><br>The guide let me do the Elephants for no charge since I was the tour leader and that provided more good photos. Riding the elephant was exciting for the first few minutes but the novelty wore off fairly quickly for me. We only saw a few waterbuck while riding the elephants, as we didn&#8217;t really cover much ground in 45 minutes (about a kilometer or so). My best photos were ...
