G: The water levels in Lake Kariba are back to normal after our good rains of this year. These animals have obviously got caught on a disappearing island as the waters rose.

G: The other week I included an article about tourism numbers in Zambia going down. I wonder if it has something to do with the Rise of Zimbabwe?
Also notice in this video a clip of microlighting in Livingstone, Zambia. Surely it has to be a mistake?
Daily Mail, UK
This is the moment an elephant charges a safari boat filled with tourists in Botswana. The elephant was grazing peacefully in the Chobe River when it suddenly moved aggressively towards the boat.
G: This is a case of people behaving badly. No wonder our wildlife is fed up of tourists.
