Memories:

Zambezi Cocktail... Three Sisters... Oblivion... 111 meters of pure adrenaline... Leon and the walking safari... Saved by the GPS... "Um, Leon, I think there's an elephant over there"... The invisible rhino... Feeding the African Fish Eagle... Elephants, elephants everywhere... My first predator -- a lioness and her cubs... The incredible names of the people we met: Effort, Lovemore, Beauty, Charity, Titus, Memory... Illala Lodge... Four digit phone numbers... Marketing hints for the street vendors... Ring Worm... Tepanyaki or Tepanyaki tonight?...
