Great report.

I especially like the add-on trip at the beginning. Too many people miss out on the great benefits of doing some extra time and trips when on safari.

Some great photographs and experiences. The first photo with the girl Sasha from the mountain top is breathtaking. Photos only show a portion of such a sight so the actual spot must have been brilliant. That is a scene I plan to visit one day.

The rock painting cliff is also amazing. I assume the rock paintings were bushmen paintings?

I walked and canoed on the other side of the Zambezi in Zambia opposite Mana Pools in 1994. I recognize such of the hills across the river. Good photograph of "Stretch Ferrera" too. Some close-ups on elephant as well. Did 'Stretch' actually raise his rifle at the bulls when 'talking' to them or not?



Look at the 'broomed' off horns on this old warrior.

I like your lion incident. I am envious. When in Zim in 2002 and in my enforced stay at a tourist camp on the Zambezi (on the Bots border) they told me of an incident a few days earlier when the waterbuck and bushbuck which grazed on the grass between the chalets and near the dining area, were attacked by lion right in front of everyone. With a lioness rushing past in ambush from the other side pf the dining table past all the diners. Killing a waterbuck only a few metres from the table. I sat on the verandah on my chalet for half the night watching the waterbuck and a couple bushbuck but alas no lions . It must have been quite a sight to see the lions march past your tents. (PS Is a mosquito screen of a tent effective protection from a pride of lions? )

What lens did you use for the lion pride photo?

Nice hunting dog pack too.
