Le Comte de Monte Cristo
Way Back in the Before Times, we made a fantastic trip to Africa. Looking back at the fall of 2018, it would have been impossible to imagine what was lurking over the horizon.
I am so very happy we took the opportunity to go on this journey, and these are some of my favorite photos I took (there were something like 4000, most shot on a base model Canon T3 DSLR (IIRC) with a zoom lens that cost more than the camera.
We started in Zambia, did a bit of Zimbabwe and 3 camps in Botswana (including the Kalahari). We finally snaked down to Capetown and also hit a South African camp at Madikwe, about 40 miles away from Gabarone.
We stayed at the Royal Livingstone, at Victoria Falls.
We went from the airport to the river to catch a ferry; I knew this was going to be an adventure when I saw a baboon scavenging on the riverbank as we awaited the boat and could see hippos and crocodiles in the water.
When we got to the property, we were treated to the sight of giraffes, zebras and monkeys roaming freely. This guy had a preferred perch somewhere next to the road going in and out from the ferry landing.
