Nyamatusi Camp, Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe

At the Nyamatusi Camp in Mana Pools, Zimbabwe, there were fewer elephants but lots of hippopotamuses. Here, we also saw a den of African Wild Dogs (Painted Dogs). On that hike, Katy managed to trip and crack five ribs. She was a trouper--only missed one game drive that afternoon.
