    • People tend to be afraid of lions, tigers, sharks, crocodiles and snakes, but nobody talks about hippos. The fact is that hippos are the kind of animal that kill most people. When they get disturbed, they seek deeper water, we were thus instructed to always row between the hippos and the river bank.

    • We were instructed not to bathe on the river banks, only in shallow water by sandbanks in the river, due to the danger of beeing attacked by crockodiles. And somebody always had to watch when somebody else were bathing. We saw a couple of crocs while we were canoeing, but not when we were allowed to take pictures :-(

     Great page! I didn't venture out on the Zambezi, preferring to relax in comfort instead at the Zambezi Sun :) Greetings from Germany, Brian    		Trekki Fri Jan 26, 2007 07:29 UTC
     Wow what an adventure !!! Although I love canoeing - I would never be brave enough to do it among hippos and crocs, not even with guides.... too much afriad of enter the mouth of a yawning hippo ;-)))
