| The selfie is Francois, I am in the dark glasses :) |
But I swallowed my pride/fear and
climbed on board. And what an amazing experience!
Our cameras were attached to special
rotatable tripods that moved with the chairs, and that was pretty
cool. The best was the view we had of the animals and birds though.

We were so close to ground level on the
river, that if felt like we were looking the crocodiles straight in
the eye. Not quite literally, but very close.

The water birds were plentiful today,
and so were the antelope and buffalo. I took almost 500 photographs
today, because...we saw a leopard. It was a female that came right to
the water's edge to drink. I kept pushing the button to get as many
photographs as I could. Fortunately, the camera kept up with my
enthusiastic finger :)
Animals we saw: leopard,
buffalo, lechwe, puku, crocodiles, hippopotamus, water monitors,
impala, kudu and waterbuck.
