Although boating and helicopters are fun, the two most common and popular ways are still from a vehicle, or being foot. Both of these like with the others have their pros and conns […]
Zambia Part 1 – South Luangwa

Africa Called and I Answered
Before leaving for my trip to the largest body of land on the planet, I did my typical pre-flight routine. I laid out my suitcase and organized my things into their places.
