Mosi-oa-Tunya

I did an afternoon game drive today in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park to shoot some stills for a change. I didn't hire a private 4x4, I just signed up for a normal game drive. I haven't shot any stills on game drives so far with the exception of a few in Ngorongoro Crater. Everything else has been shot on RED. So this was sort of a goof off day for me. It's a very small park, only 66 sq. km., but it's very nice. It's bordered on the south by the Zambezi river and Victoria Falls is just downstream. The park gets it's name from the constant mist above the falls. In the local language, Mosi-oa-Tunya means "The Smoke that Thunders". We saw Elephants, Giraffe, lots of Warthogs, some Zebra and Impala, a Crocodile on the Zambezi bank, some Hippos, lots of Baboons and a really large herd of Cape Buffalo.

That wasn't all I accomplished today. I also finished the edit of the Zambia video. Tomorrow I will put the finishing touches on it and upload it to my Vimeo channel. I'm also planning on crossing over to the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls tomorrow to see it from that perspective.
