Zambia - Lower Zambezi National Park, Baines' Camp

The story was on Johan Marais and his elephant seminar, held at Baines' River Camp on the Lower Zambezi, over the river from Bumi Hills. It was a great trip - along were James Kydd and Garth Kingwill from Ranger Diaries and Bradford Keen (ex Cue) from the PR company. Much game seen, including the disturbing sight of a hippo flying off a cliff. We reckon it was being chased by lions. It landed on its head and as we pulled up in the boat, it died. Less gruesome were the countless elephants - memorable was the tree shaking incident which sent a hail of pods down on the Cruiser. The forests around Jeki were beautiful, as were the early morning blasts up river from the camp to get to the park. Alison and Colin Street came along as well; fun locals with a hut on the river intent on learning more about ellies. Great trip.
