 Preparing the rafts for a little float down the Mansha River |
 Raft #1 - the newbies - Nicole, Johannes, Stephanie, and a GUIDE! |
 Two boats - 1 guide - didn't sound too bad... |
 Paddling down the gentle (in this spot) Mansha River |
 Your fearless crew of Boat #2 - Reinhold and Brian |
 Paddling down the Mansha River, Northeastern Zambia |
 Only two paddles...four would have made it wasier |
 Mark warned us to stay out of the overhanging palm branches |
 ...the palm branches are sharp and full of all sorts of interesting critters... |
 ...we usually got a boat-full of spiders when we brushed the side... |
 ...but this little guy really freaked out Reinhold! |
 Rapids on the Mansha River - the guide in the other boat told us to keep to the far left |
 ...with our great rafting skills and teamwork, we went right over the middle... |
 Really...they probably should have put a guide in each boat... |
 But we survived without tipping over! |
