Photography: Travel the World with Jim Seith

An unusual opportunity to do a “walking” safari in Mana Pool National Park, Zimbabwe. Four days in a tented base camp on the shore of the Zambezi River. Led by a highly experienced guide who is a friend of our son-in-law (State Department stationed in Zimbabwe), we walked into the bush—or canoed down the Zambezi River dodging “pods” of unhappy hippos—each day. On one day we took a jeep to get to the far reaches of the park, then got out and walked for hours—and had some up close and personal interactions with large bull elephants, a pride of female lions with cubs, one magnificent male lion and some grazing hippos. At night roles reversed and we became the prey and stayed in our tents as giant bull elephants wandered through camp to feast on the figs that had fallen from the trees over our heads and hippos climbed out of the river in front of our tents to feed. Lions roared nearby—an amazing sound from so close.
