I know it's a river close to the souls of many of you, so here are some pictures of the Zambezi and a few of its tributaries. Between Vic Falls and the Ruya river.

Wow, great pic's. I would love to hunt and fish the area some day.

I will be visiting there in 13' after a hunting trip to RSA. I am really looking forward to it.

By all means, please keep the pic's coming!

Wonderful Dave, I love the way you put them "in order" as the river flows.

If that was my home, it would make me extremely homesick. Thanks for the post

Glad you noted that Bill C, you know the Zambezi well! Didn't get the tributaries in the right places, but they are in order insofar as going into the Zambezi is concerned.

Absolutely MARVELOUS !

Thanks David, I really enjoyed those - good technique and beautiful. Warm regards, AIU

Very nice David. Wish I were there right now.

Me too Todd. Thanks for the comments guys, glad you like the pictures.

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

WOW. I would LOVE to catch some of those fish.

How do you fish for them (hopefully I am not detracting from the great pic's). Are they tough to catch?

I will definitely be trying that out some day!

Sept. 5 and 6 I will be hunting those Tigers.

Thanks for posting those pics.

I feel privileged to have visited a lot of those areas BUT particularly like the photo of Mana with The storm on the escarpment. AHH the wet season.

Jason, there are a lot of guys who will give you better tiger fishing advice than me, but I guess the general trend in the river is a chunk of fish fillet as bait, cast out and left to drift. That's how we caught those. The one I caught (I'm the fatter, older chap) was off the bank. I think we should ask Buzz Charlton, Rob Jolly and Mike Jines to weigh in as I'm told they spend a lot of time drifting down the river. And ozhunter, of course. Yes Oz, the valley is so spectacular during the rains. Good luck with the tiger hunting SG Olds and thanks again for the comments guys.

wonderful - does this ever make some great memories come back - thanks david - you made my day

Well worth my scrolling time

Amazingly beautiful. Thanks so much for posting these photos!!!!

Best regards, D. Nelson

Wow! Those are stunning. Thanks so much. I love the river.

Marvelous. Thank you for posting.

I do not believe that I have ever seen a river that was not beautiful. God does god work, does he not?

Good hunting.

David,

Absolutely stunning photos, I think I may need to add a few days onto my trip to set aside for some photography trips.

Loved the pics of Sapi camp. I stayed there in '08. Brought back a lot of memories. This is a pic from that cam p.

Beautiful photographs! But I have to admit that I felt a twinge in my legs looking at the photo taken from the hilltop in Mupata, and recalling that those damned things have to be climbed in order to get that kind of a view.
