A couple of shots from my recent trip to southern Africa.

Leopard watching over the impala he killed a couple of days earlier.

I don't know what your budget is, but look at Overseas Adventure Travel if you are interested. That's who we went with, and they run a topnotch outfit. I would recommend their Ultimate Africa trip to anyone.

I think they had sometime earlier rolled in river mud (we were only 100 yards from a river wallow) to mitigate the flies. When we first came upon them (see photo below), they were covered in flies, so the application apparently wasn't a lot of help. They kept getting up and moving around, I think to just get temporary relief from the flies. The flies never bothered us at Chobe, but they sure were bugging those lions.
