Staying on a house boat on Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe, a small tinny provides the perfect safari 'vehicle'.
Hippos bob their heads up out of the water around me, occassionally erupting in a churn of water that has me reversing fast.
Elephants come down to cool and feed on the succulent aquatic plants. A 'duck' dive, trunk grabbing bunch, wave it to and fro to remove mud and water and then stuff into mouth - Mmmmm fresh salad. Deep water proved no problem with trunk snorkels, like periscopes, cutting their way forward through the water.
