Canoeing down the Zambezi

---

Our other major activity in Zambia included a three day, two night canoe trip down the Lower Zambezi River. Hot weather, great river, Canadian canoes, crocodiles, hippos and elephants - how can you go wrong with that?!

The highlight of the trip was the second night after dinner, just after the sun went down, we had a herd of elephants walk through our campsite (on an island in the middle of the river). We were only about 10 meters from a huge bull elephant that was feeding on a tree next to our dinner table. We stayed quiet and crouched as low as possible so we wouldn't spook the elephant. It's one of those unforgettable experiences!

Great photos, I miss the sunrise/sunsets in Africa. We did this on our honeymoon, it brought back great memories!
