My previous African experience included some months spent in the eastern part working with their military in remote areas about twenty-five years ago. We lived in tents and we traveled about on foot every day. I interacted with the locals in small towns, villages, and family groups of dung covered huts. Giraffes, zebras, antelope, monkeys, and all kinds of other animals were just about everywhere. I heard lions and hyenas nearly every night. I've always wanted to go back and go hunting. I guess it has changed.
