The Zambezi River flows gently above the Victoria falls. We spent a delightful evening on a small boat slowly admiring the wildlife there.
The white clouds all come from the falls, and luckily we did not go too close…
Bee eaters and cormorants were relaxing after a day’s hard work, and the occational crocodile swam by. There were many hippos, and we were lucky to arrive in the middle of a love affair. A heavy male was courting and I wonder how she managed to breathe at all…but obviously she did ”survive”.
It was a delightful tour with good food and many interesting sights and photo ops, and
– we all slept well through that soft African night.

Extraordinary. Wonderful.
Thank you – something to remember!
A perfect evening! We did a similar trip but the hippos were all ‘behaving themselves’, and I don’t remember seeing so many beautiful bee eaters.
I guess we were lucky with them! And yes – a perfect evening.
What wonderful things to witness, something to treasure
We were so lucky that evening. And there were so many hippos around us. I know they can be dangerous, but I guess mostly when they have offspring to defend.
Great images Ann-Christine!
Thank you, Anne!
There is the English saying ‘from the sublime to the ridiculous’ – what a delightful combination from an amorous hippo to the daintiest of birds all fitting into the same air space . . . ?? ! ________________________________
Haha, yes – and you are a master of finding the right ways of commenting!
Fantastic gallery, and those clouds are out of this world!
Thank you – you understand I had a lovely evening!
Lovely. Lucky the Hippos were preoccupied and didn’t care about a small boat. Wonderful bird photos
Thank you, Brian. Yes, hippos can be dangerous, but love is a great distractor…I love bee eaters too!
Great hippo photos and how lucky to see all those bee eaters.
Thank you – yes, I love bee eaters. Nowadays we have them here in the south of Sweden too, but I haven’t seen them!
The skies are beautiful. Happy Easter, Ann-Christine xx
Happy Easter, Jo!
