Top shots

By special request, here are a few favorite pictures from my trip to Africa.

To start with, have you ever seen a happier pig than this warthog at Mkuze National Park in South Africa?

This is something I have always wanted to see: a giraffe drinking water. Totally awkward and vulnerable to lion attack!

This is the lovely Paternoster, with whitewashed fisherman cottages, in the Western Cape, South Africa.

This is the Sea Point Pavilion, where you can do laps with an ocean view, in Cape Town.


This is the interior courtyard at the lovely Winchester Mansions in Cape Town.


My village, Tsineng.


Petrified forest in Sossusvlei, Namibia (where part of the J. Lo movie "The Cell" was filmed).


Sunrise over the Sesriem dunes, Namibia.

Rock formations, Namibia.

Giraffes at dusk, Etosha, Namibia.

Okavango Delta, Botswana.

Victoria Falls by helicopter.

Victoria Fall, dangling over the edge. I didn't take this picture; instead, my guide took my camera and clambered over rocks until he was barely clinging to the edge. I was like "Dude, the shot is not worth dying for!"

Sunset over the Zambezi

Zanzibar! Now you see why I stayed an extra week.

Lions, Ngorongoro Crater.
Olduvai Gorge, the "Cradle of Humankind."

Baby lion cub, yawning. You know all about its tragic fate.

Antelope, Masai Mara.

Full Moon, Lamu
