The suites you showed in the video had beautiful colors. I liked it best with purple tones. Furthermore, you will be on a fantastic adventurous journey of all the fantastic creatures a jungle can show off. Another beautiful video, with beautiful pictures and music. Wonderfully good because I again forgot time and place, and I could dream away. A wonderful ending on a spectacular journey!

    Such an amazing abundance of wildlife! And a stressful environment for prey animals such as giraffes with all the lions about. Those cute lion cubs have got to eat and mom is on the hunt. And that is the way of the wild. As a human, I would definitely feel more safe in a fortress-like lodge such as Onguma--lol. I shall miss Nimibia--so beautifully presented to us by our master filmographer, Dr LTE. It's been a grand experience and it's nice to know I can re-visit any time I want to :)

I'll fully admit to camping in places where predators live but I also have bear spray (pepper spray) and my Smith and Wesson. You would think the liability would be high on that.
