Lynda, It was a wonderful experience. Watching the baby elephants swimming across the river is forever etched into my memory.

Such an awesome experience and we got so close to the elephants!

Mike, It was pretty scary! But it happened rather early in our boat trip and didn’t ruin anything…it just meant we were all really in the wild!

That’s crazy, Corinne! Where is the picture of it??! That is fascinating on so many attacks occuring that way too. I’ve watched wildlife shows all of my life but seeing a tourist getting snatched out of a boat would been a first. Thank goodness you weren’t harmed. That is very cool that the boat wasn’t crowded. That would be a huge turn off for me. Great story and post, our friend! :-)

Katie, It was an amazing experience. I’d read mixed reviews, but we loved it.

I am kinda obsessed with elephants – aren’t their trumpets and sounds so amazing! Lovely shot of their faces half wet. I can’t wait to get to almost anywhere in Africa one day!

Tom, This particular hippo was startled by the boat. He wasn’t happy, and Jim was almost not happy. Do it. It’s pretty awesome stuff!
