Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia, 2009
The Lower Zambezi National Park lies on the north bank
of the Zambezi River in south eastern Zambia. Until 1983 when the area was declared a national park the area was the private game reserve of Zambia's president. This has resulted in the park being protected from the ravages of mass tourism and remains one of the few pristine wilderness areas left in Africa. On the opposite bank is Zimbabwe's Mana Pools national Park. The two parks sit on the Zambezi flood plain ringed by mountains, the area is a world heritage site. In fashion with the current trend in Southern Africa there is talk of linking the two parks to form a massive trans-frontier park.
The attraction of the Lower Zambezi park and its surrounding GMA is its remote location, unlike South African parks there are no tarred roads and you are very unlikely to encounter another tourist whilst traveling around. Tourist numbers are kept down due to the park being inaccessible by road, unless you have advanced 4x4 driving skills and even then only at certain times of the year, tourists are taken in on either a boat on the Zambezi or by light aircraft flying from either Livingstone or Lusaka.

Mom Renee and Baby Louie.
We got there as the handlers were working with the animals - tossing them apples and other goodies. Mom Renee was playing a game of toss with a tennis ball with them. They had them trained up and had both elephants lifting up feet, laying down, standing on hind legs and more on command. It was really something.
Lots more photos from the zoo here:

These elephants at Twycross Zoo all went out for a walk, each elephant held on to the tail of the one in front with their trunks. Bless.
These elephants were feeding on young trees & shrubs, flattening the thorns with their feet and then devouring branches whole.

British Indian actor Sabu (1924-1963) had 'a smile as broad as the Ganges and charm enough to lure the stripes off a tiger'. He became an instant star with the release of the British film Elephant Boy in 1937. His succession of tropical Technicolor treats delighted audiences before and during WW II.

Our elephant seal is still there - still sleeping most of the time, but moving up and down the beach during the day. He has become quite the tourist attraction, causing traffic jams and parking issues. The Dept of Wildlife and Conservation have staff posted all day to keep people back, as he could be quite dangerous. Every now and again he flips sand over himself.
