A common site...but I would challenge anyone to try doing this!!! She was walking along at a pretty good pace and take note ---- no shoes!! Eeesh!!!!
This is the Limpopo River that runs through this national park and next to the Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge where we stayed...we were standing on the deck of the Lodge overlooking this site....amazing!
This is a Baobob tree that is about 2000 years old. Looking behind us you can see that the tree is hollowed out...These are incredible trees! You can see where the bark is stripped above us where Elephants strip it to eat the bark.
You could say this is the "Land of the Baobob"...the legend says that this tree used to produce lots of fruit & flowers, then decided to become barren. Then it is said that God decided to pull it out of the ground, turn it upside down and put it back in the ground...that's why these look like the roots are at the top of the tree....
Another close up shot of the Baobob.....
This was an awesome sight behind us...how the rock formation was made....and don't look at how close to the edge we were...I told them hurry and take the picture....and boy don't I look like a dork!
This is the same rock formation taken from the other side
Look at this!!! We called it the "Halloween" tree!!!
Elder Raymond on the bridge leading to our lodge or room from another couples lodge (room)....there were about 10 lodges at Chilo Gorge...and lots of vegetation. You can hear the hippos out on the river from our rooms.
A typical scene as you drive around the area, but look at the hut in the center of the picture...its a double decker...an upstairs!!! And look how clean they keep their dirt around their home....
We stopped along the road when we saw these two boys with their cart and donkeys...they are so happy. We gave them each a sucker for letting us take their picture. They thought they had such a treat!
