While we were in Zimbabwe, we went to the Chobe National Park for a game drive and saw lots of elephants and giraffes.  About 30 giraffes in a group.  The baby elephants were playing in the water and having a great time.  Too cute!  To top off the day, we were sitting outside at the hotel bar and were told there was an elephant right outside the fence, so we went to see him just outside the fence (about 20 feet away) munching on trees.  He moved along the fence line and was so quiet that you couldn't even hear him walking.  Just another day in Africa.......
On a side note:  we visited with the bartender at the hotel about his country and he said that he and his family were very poor.  He said he was paid a poor wage as well.  There is 60% unemployment in Zimbabwe and that many businesses had closed.  The major businesses are copper, diamonds, agriculture (tobacco, cotton and corn) and tourism, though tourism was down considerably.  Everyone in Livingstone was trying to see trinkets to you and would exchange their merchandise for clothes, shoes, or the U.S. dollar.  When they heard we were going home that day, they didn't understand why we didn't have clothes or shoes or socks to leave behind with them.  A sad, sad situation.
