OH NO!!!
I am grieving with you - actually groaning out loud repeatedly over the loss of your camera and all that amazing footage. What a tragedy, as this is a very appropriate word. So sorry for you, and can only imagine your disappointment. Don't you wish you could just turn the clock back one minute??? It sounds like the rest of your adventures are pretty exciting and very informative and obviously increasing your knowledge of all things African. Hopefully, this event won't spoil the rest of what is happening and you can truly enjoy all that is still left to experience. Greg is in Kelowna today, and travelling up north on his business excursion - no 500 species of wild birds to listen to. I arrived in Arizona yesterday with my niece and am also enjoy high temperatures, but no humidity! Take care and thanks for taking the time to post all your information. We are very interested! Judy

Sorry
I know you'll be very disappointed not to have the videos and the camera. Hopefully, Kayla, you have a lot of still pictures you'll be able to share with us when you get home.
