AndyAnderson 0 #1 June 15, 2004 My brother called from SA at 2 am to let me know about an incident on the Zambezi that rivals the other thread ( You wont F'ing believe this). A canoe safari on the Zambezi encountered a heard of elephants crossing from Zimbabwe to Zambia. They could not back paddle or land so they tried for a gap in the heard but 3 canoes washed up on 3 of the panicked ellys which kept swimming for the bank. The matriarch returned down the bank squealing and stopped on a ledge, 3 feet above the water, going bezerk. Hurbet, the guide, in his canoe on an ellys back passed under the ledge and the ledge collapsed and the elly landed in the canoe as Hurbet jumped out the way. The other 2 canoes had also turned over and there were 6 people in the water with 6-10 ellys and all were in a panic. The people all swam to the other canoes and the ellys all made it to the bank. Any one who knows the Zambezi knows there are crocks all over the place. Lucky bunch. Andy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
