SO, I’m back from Africa, UNEATEN!
Bonnie and I had a spectacular trip. Six days on a foot Safari at Mana Pools, on the Zambezi River in northern Zimbabwe, canoeing with Crocs and massive hippos, hiking among swarms of big game animals including Lions ( one false charge!) elephants ( two false charges) leopards, Buffalo etc.
Up to six hours per day walking, not the east African commercial experience trapped an a car, experiencing traffic jams at kill sights.
Then a week and a half in Rwanda and Uganda, three mountain trecks looking at Mountain Gorillas and Golden Monkeys. Very polite primates, easy walks in to see them ( two hours max in my case) the animals were well acclimated and completely relaxed. Spectacular scenery, and almost impossibly nice local people.
Expensive, but trip of a life time.
