It’s Leah again, the blonde, non-hunting gal tagging along on hunting safaris.

The Ridge Elephant

I remember it well.  A few years ago, I was invited to go on my first African safari.  I’m a lady, and a non-hunter, so I was happy to go on vacation and take some photos as an observer on a hunting safari. This safari was to be in the wilderness of Zimbabwe in the […]
