Congo (Gorillas), Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Zanzibar

Another trip to Africa took us to The Republic of Congo (where we saw western lowland gorillas), Zimbabwe (fabulous game viewing at Singita Pamushana), Mozambique and Zanzibar. This gallery is for animal and bird lovers; Africa's wildlife is beautiful.
