A last compendium of wildlife photos from this trip – although we certainly have many, many more if you are interested….
Only rarely do you get to spot interesting animals when on a walking safari, as we have here with new acquaintances Inge and Fritz from Lusaka (Zambia), along with our guide Godfrey and the armed guard who insured our safety on foot in the Lower Zambezi park.
Truth be told, the animals in the images to follow were actually spotted from a safari vehicle or boat.
The series of photos above attempts to capture how exciting it is to watch the Red Lechwe antelopes leaping through the wetlands…..
Finally, perhaps our most thrilling animal encounter was with this bull elephant, who was just emerging from the elephant equivalent of rut…… a compelling need to mate that robs the male of his good sense and can make him quite grumpy. He held us up for a while….. and really didn’t want to see us go!
May he find peace!
Around the World Again 
It’s the end – no! Maybe there’s an after-credits scene like a Marvel movie… Just in case not, thank you, thank you, thank you – you’ve lifted my spirits and reminded me of the privilege of being African. That said, I’m sure you’re glad to be back home after so long away.
