Feasting on the Zambezi near Chiawa Camp, while elephant cross the river nearby
Zambia’s Lower Zambezi National Park lay to one side of us and Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools to the other as we gently puttered along the Zambezi, enjoying a serene lunch. We spotted birds and hippo, and kept an eye out for crocs, until at last, a family of elephant came into sight. They dawdled near the river’s edge, then began to wade into the depths towards an island. Soon the adults were in up to their shoulders but our eyes were _xed on the two babies.
