January 15, 2016 By Lauren 10 Comments

After our day trip to Botswana from Zambia, we couldn’t wait to dive further into the wilderness of Africa (or “the bush,” as they call it) and see what other exotic animals we could find. The idea was to round out the rest of the Big Five that we hadn’t seen yet. The term “Big Five” is used […]
