Victoria Falls & returning to Africa

          Victoria Falls is amazing!  I was able to visit Vic falls with a new friend, Ruth, who is teaching street kids in Harare for 9 months.  We saw baboons, monkeys, warthogs, crocodiles, hippos, elephants, and walked with lions.  The hippos were a surprise favorite--especially when watching them from the safety of a boat! :) 


Baboons


Baby vervet monkeys

Up close & probably too personal

He's just a big cat, right? :)

I learned that elephants have a 22 month gestational period and births are attended by 2 elephant midwives!

Victoria Falls

Aren't hippos the cutest?

Glad we were in a boat!
          Although I'm not sure exactly when or to which country yet, I am being called to Africa for medical missions and am looking forward to returning.  I hope you all will join me on that adventure as well and maybe come visit! (Hint, hint mom & dad :))

  1. I cannot believe how close you got to those animals! I bet that was amazing. I love the picture of the falls with the rainbow. Beautiful!
