Zambia presented by Ty Smedes:
Zambia may be one of Africa’s
best-kept secrets for a safari destination. This presentation will take you to
a delightful country filled with wonderful people, beautiful scenery, amazing
birds, elephant, zebra, giraffe, several species of antelope, and many other
grazers. See amazing photographs taken at night, including dramatic footage of
leopards stalking and taking down prey. Lastly, we will ply the waters of the
Zambezi River, where elephant and hippo abound, and which feeds the world
famous Victoria Falls.
