life, the universe, and donna

Zimbabwe Travelogue Index

So, a big part of the trip was animals — seeing them, eating them, touching them, and so on. I eventually kept a list of everything I saw. And ate. And now, I share it with you!

Animals

Antelope (there’s enough of ‘em that I put them in their own category.)
