Warnings Or Dangers: SMELLS & INSECTS!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Either in Zimbabwe or Kenya, you will find
    carcasses! Just make sure the wind is at
    your BACK!! As you could guess, it's not
    a BED-OF ROSES!! But interesting to look
    at, and discuss. We have here a dead HIPPO.
    Lake Kariba. Also, a Buffalo carcass! I was
    impressed, the 3 girls on the safari, didn't
    bother them at all!
    Watch out for SPIDERS! A pretty one in my tent. Only will give a nasty bite. I saw it in the morn. Getting my things together. Have to
    take a pic of that too!!!!! It looked like it should
    be in a : SCI-FI MOVIE!

  • There are POACHERS! I know that!! If you
    find KILLS or WIRE-SNARES! The POACHERS could be in the area or maybe not!! In any-event, we found these SNARES!
    I'll will talk about these more in the t-log!
    All you can do is be ready, your services may be needed. But, we saved some animals
    that day!!

    Warnings Or Dangers: Zambezi, CROCS & HIPPOS
  • Tip Rating:
  • Zimbabwe - WE could get chopped in HALF!

  • This was a nice part of the SAFARI. But, at times it did get a little crazy. Hippos can tip or split this thing in TWO! CROCS can also tip it over. Your guide will know where to keep the canoe going. Just listen to him and pay attention. It's very important you do that.
    Like I said before, this can get boring, but also risky!!

    Warnings Or Dangers: POACHERS MUST DIE!!!!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • In CHIZARIRA PARK. Very wild, very remote.
    This is my first pile of ELEPHANT BONES.
    Not knowing what I would see in KENYA in 2002. The POACHING destroyed the RHINOS
    almost destroyed the ELEPHANTS! Most places they have. Killed me then, Kills me now!! Go and visit, spend the money in the PARKS.

     Impressive page ! Swimming elephant, pushing the jeep in front of the lions ..... I hope also for better days and to go back and see Hwange NP again.

     Seeing those elephant bones just piled up like that is really sad. That's to bad, it's not all majestic that's for sure. Cheers to your work on this page. All the best!
