Wild is Life!

Why, hello, Sweetpea the Kudu!
While visiting Wild is Life in Harare, Zimbabwe, we had afternoon tea with this lovely animal (she's partial to strawberries....)

How's this for a sign?? Probably best to keep your fingers away from lions...

Wild is Life rescues animals who have been orphaned (due to poaching), are ill, or who would otherwise have been killed.

This beauty promptly walked past..see? The sign has some good advice!
Wild is Life has several lions including one that is blind and one that is missing some teeth (making him unable to survive in the wild).

I instantly fell in love with the premises, so easy to get lost among its beauty.
So easy to forget you're in Harare.

I couldn't resist a second shot, I mean, just look at those flowers!

A boat as a swinging seat? Emphatic yes please!

Take My Breath Away: Mana Pools Style

Photobucket
Oh, be still my heart!  Mana Pools, I believe I have fallen in love with you.
Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe.

Photobucket
The beautiful sunset over the Zambezi River and its lovely baobab trees.

Photobucket
Preparing for the very Zimbabwe custom of a sundowner at sunset.

Photobucket
Mana Pools with the Zambezi and the mountains of Zambia's Rift Valley in the background just left me speechless.
How can a morning not be perfect when you have a walking safari through this landscape?!

Photobucket
This sunset on the Zambezi River reminded me of this sunset in Senegal.

The tree swing at Ruckomechi Camp in Mana Pools.

The rays of the setting sun on the Zambezi River.

Ruckomechi has this tucked away spot to take a bath while the elephants saunter past.

Photobucket
Those of you (lucky enough?) to know me, know I have a ridiculous obsession with taking jumping photos
where ever my adventures take me.  Voila!  My jump for joy at sunset at the Zambezi!
(Thank you, friend, for humoring me and taking the photo.)
