What was most scary to me in Africa!

So these are the things of nightmares in Africa! In Zimbabwe many people every year are killed by crocodiles. The guides told us several stories...
These were pretty far away and have been worked hard, not the highest quality. But I love the 2 flies on the first, the dragon fly on the second and the eyes on the 3rd!
The last photo is of a local in their boat that they use to fish. They said the crocodiles have started to learn that they can bump the canoe and get a tasty treat!
No way you get me in one of these.
So one of the sad stories was of a 17 year old girl just 3 years or so ago that was in a canoe, she pointed to something on shore and a crocodile came out of the water grabbed her arm and in just seconds she was gone and not seen again. So we are out on our boat, it was larger than a canoe but still not large. I was up front to get low and be out of the way. On the way to another site I stuck my leg out straight as I was sitting on the floor of the boat, my foot was just over the edge and the guide yelled, Beth, foot! Yikes, I had not thought of it and I could have been the (not 17 far from it) girl next story they told!

Notice the hippos that could also be a problem! We had a hippo charge us in our boat, it was like a little missile!

Quite an adventure! There are tales of how hippos are more dangerous.

You are quite the gal. I don't know if I'd venture out in those waters. I'm satisfied sitting here at the table viewing your gems. I really, really like #1 and for as much as I admired it, I didn't notice the flies until I went back and read your introduction.
