Something is happening !

As the sun sighs fatigue over the Zambezi valley, the light strokes the trees with soft warm glows that is so characteristic of Africa  .

This Pan like so many others in The Great  Zambezi valley has become the meeting place for many – the edges scattered with elephant dung and  great foot prints in the mud , that sometimes last for years after they have dried – like signatures on a board - these are the  signs of those who have  been there before .

There is an inescapable peace that comes over us a feeling of calm   when in a place  like this , its life -its real – its peaceful and yet there is always something about to happen ,-always that apprehension ,that excitement of what we may see , what may happen ! 

Imagine yourself sitting there in the quiet evening light , in the typical warmth of the sun ,quietly observing the comings and goings  , where the scents of damp Mopane soil , dung and the vegetation mingle with the sounds of Africa ,creating an ambiance  that remains with you forever !
