During our time with the Murphys, we had the opportunity to visit the Chobe Game Park in Botswana - a half day on the river and a half day in a jeep. We saw tons of elephants (ha ha), some hippos, impalas, monkeys, cape buffalo, and some beautiful birds - unfortunately, no lions or tigers. ..........A day before we came home, we had a free day in the capital city of Lusaka so enjoyed a visit to a crocodile farm that also featured many very poisonous snakes including vipers, mambas, and cobras.

| Elephants seem to be social, usually moving in groups. |
 |
| The elephants seemed rather "friendly", allowing us to get fairly close ! |
 |
| Hippos like to be partially submerged and are more aggressive - our boat captain was cautious when approaching them ! |
 |
| A typical safari vehicle |
 |
| Not sure of its name, but this bird's beauty caught our eye. |
 |
| Among the many very poisonous snakes, there was one harmless snake that we could handle - guess which one of us had to play with it !? |
 |
| Crocodiles in captivity are a sleepy bunch ! |
