Forgive the blurry photos and videos. My old phone has been everywhere with me and is part of my stories. Until I get a better phone or a proper camera, some of the wildlife will remain Unidentified Furry Objects.
A sunset I couldn’t resist: Photo by De Exploraz.A wide stretch of the Zambezi River.Another day, another sunset. Still won’t get tired of these.At this point, I hadn’t made any acquaintances yet: Photo by De Exploraz.Breakfast with my travelmates beside the Zambezi: Photo by De Exploraz.Danger lurking beneath these calm waters.Eland, Africa’s largest antelopes.A grey heron making good use of a hippo’s back: Photo by De Exploraz.I was lucky enough to catch starlings in flight.Even in the middle of nowhere, you still have to choose.It’s quiet moments like these that calm the soul.Little did we know, our truck on the right had sinister plans for the evening: Photo by De Exploraz.Dried blood, perhaps? I wondered whether this had been a kill site: Photo by De Exploraz.Mana Pools National Park rules. The wildlife hasn’t read them, so we’d better.Some even tried fishing for crocodiles – joke: Photo by De Exploraz.A stop along the Zambezi Escarpment. Even the road came with a view.The truck that stranded us at a watering spot where lions ambush prey.Now this is a sunset I’d come back for: Photo by De Exploraz.A tsetse fly control target.Warthogs feeding just a few metres away.We certainly weren’t short of protein: Photo by De Exploraz.Weaver nests hanging from the bare branches.You’d be lying if you said this wasn’t beautiful.Feet up beside the braai, before the hyenas invited themselves over.
