"Dinner in the bush,
Stars above and beasts below,
Wild eyes watch, unseen."

| From 2023 11 04 Zimbabwe |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from Zimbabwe. It's at a dinner in the bush just outside Zambezi National Park. There's really nothing separating us from the wildlife, so I guess either 1) the animals are more afraid of us than we are of them, or 2) the animals are well fed and see no need to challenge humans, or 3) the people in charge of safaris and bush dinners don't value tourists' lives. You decide. On the drive back to our resort after dinner, we were driving down a dark, sand track when we suddenly came across two male elephants facing off. Our vehicle driver quickly stopped, reversed course and took another route, saying that it's a really bad idea to get anywhere close to elephants fighting.
