In addition to a rescued deer, vulture, mongoose, and other critters, we learned about the science of animal conservation…

From there, we left Zimbabwe, crossing back into Botswana, and camped along the Chobe River (Zambezi?!).

That evening we took another sunset river cruise (this time with more emphasis on the animals than the libations)…
