... a slightly younger male, share the giraffe as well, so who knows what her lion-ish reasoning was. After they ate some, the staff put the rest of the giraffe in a truck and hauled it back to the project to be cut up and fed to them over the next few days.<br><br>The rainy season started to arrive this week, and the park has turned noticeably greener. We were also warned that the rain causes the snakes to ...

... walked him around to meet us where we came out, which seemed to be a routine he already understood. He hasn't learned to use his trunk yet, so had to get down on his knees to drink from the river with his mouth. I also got a couple of pictures of him with the end of his trunk in his mouth -- obviously, a built-in pacifier! We all wanted to take him home!<br><br>I was going to go jet-boating on river with Clive today, but the ...

... a ruckus between 2 vendors who were each trying to sell me copper bracelets. I did buy one, but the other guy kept insisting it wasn't fair and I had to buy from him. These vendors can be very aggressive and the whole thing was a bit unpleasant. Another thing that they are all selling is defunct Zimbabwean currency, with notes going up to 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars. These are pretty cool souvenirs, and most of us had already bought a couple ...

... Hey, i just reminded myself of sleeping next door to Ziggy's Lion..............A huge Rour would sound in the middle of the night ................i was convinced that he had to have escaped to be sounding So damn close. <br><br>So when i left Ngepi Camp ..........i was heading for the Vic Falls in Zambia..............once again ...........a south African couple ready to leave the camp turned up ....just as i had paid my bill............easily enough i grabbed a lift with them ...

... every time we had even a moments break he would slide down into the boat curling up and closing his eyes so that when our guide told us to row he would resignedly sigh, push himself back up, find his oar stance and haphazardly begin dipping his oar in. <br><br>Enough about him, I&#8217;ll get to the worst part later. But first, I&#8217;ll say this: we thought we were really lucky to have the head guide as our guide, but as it turned out he was ...

... were helping. After walking a few minutes we met our lions, Rasha and Rahu. They were 13-14 months old, both males and that same tawny color that is impossible to pick out when they&#8217;re walking in the brush. They looked at us alertly at first, then they each settled down on their stomach contentedly. As our guides told us a little about them we took photos. It was incredible to be so close and also unnatural as well. Their ...

... my heart did) and a single leopard completely hidden in the fallen leaves of a tree by the road. Just recalling that makes me a little misty...there are no words to fully describe what we have experienced.<br><br>Each bird that flew by was more beautiful than the next and I began a real interest in them, surprising as that might be. I started to spot a few over the time we we've been here...my vision didn't improve but my ...

... before a space is available on the ferry .. and the 2 small ferries run only when they want to. Overland safari vehicles like us and buses / mini vans have priority to freight. Remember TIA. The distance is so short that in any developed country a bridge would be in place at this border brossing but not here in Africa. <br><br>- then we had the first of several foot and mouth foot dip meaning dipping ones shoes soles in this .... <br>

... ordered. They had mopane worms (like caterpillars, really) which were crunchy, seasoned, and tasted a bit like pumpkin seeds. High in protein, they are a local food, but for tourists it is an adventurous culinary experience. They provided a certificate to prove that we had been brave enough to try one. For dessert they had crepes made according to request along with other sweet treats. Sodas and beers were only $2 or $3, so not as expensive as I expected ...

Continued from Zambia entry... Sufficiently soaked we walked back across the border and returned to camp. Returning from the micro light flights everyone said they were brilliant. Although with only two they did have to wait quite a long time. Problem with booking things in group. They book you all at the same time and simply make you wait. Whereas if you had of booked separately, for the same price ...
