OK, this is it...

This one is for Gerry. :)

A couple more shots of our lodge...
This is the area behind the main house

Our view for every meal...
Although, this picture was taken on our last day there, and for most of the time we were there, this deck was flooded

The deck from the other side....you can see how all the planks are wet- remember, it never rained while we were there.

The nice path that lead from the deck to the "riverfront" chalets. :)

Where I drank my G&Ts :)

Ah, now we start the helicopter photos, in backward order. :)

These are the gorges after the falls

The falls from up high

Right on top of the falls. I love this pic.

In all their glory

Side on

From behind, up high

Me! In the helicopter!

Ah, and now Joel's bungee jumping, backwards. :)

Safely back on the bridge

Being hoisted back up

Jumping!

Ready to jump!

During this time, I was trying to concentrate on the pretty rainbows instead of the thought of the man I am meant to marry in 3 months time jumping off a 100m high bridge...

Getting all set to jump

The falls from the bridge

Same

Back on the game drive...

Warthogs!

Lots of em were eating like this, on their knees...funny.

Beautiful giraffe

Giraffes and elephants in the same shot!

Giraffe drinking

Elephants are big, so are elephant willies

Pretty bird- Zambia's national bird, if I'm remembering correctly

Close up

Some kind of antelope that is only found in Botswana

Impala and some other big black antelope type thing

Giraffes like to play peekaboo!

Impressive kudu!

Baby!

Mamma and baby!

Elephant in the water...

Elephants near the water

Croc!

I forget what these birds are called, but it's the bird that Zazu from The Lion King was based on.

Water Buffalo

Checking us out

Impala

Smelling us

This was the elephant that we were REALLY close to at the edge of the water- he wanted to have a bath, and was possibly just annoyed that we were in his way.

See, we were really close

Elephants!

Hippos!

What are you looking at?

Hippos!

This bird was a diver- he dove for fish. When he came out of the water he had to spread his wings like this to dry off quickly so that he could fly.

These were the first birds we saw on the game cruise. Bee eaters or something I think. They were pretty and built their nests in the banks of the river.
