Yea it was a little rise out of the lake ... I almost fell out of my chair once because I had to sit with my back to the lake ! If you look at the opposite edge of the lake the horizon is actually straight Smiley !!

Apart from the fact that it is a great shot - "you almost fell out of your chair because you had to sit with your back to the lake"? Vertigo at ground level?? Or jungle juice???

Nice lighting on the trees, makes for a pretty good reflection. With crocs and hippos around, I think I would want to be in something a bit more secure than a tent.

That's exactly what I was thinking, too.

In the Masai Mara we had a monkey actually come into our tent while we were resting the midday heat away ! Plus a LION stalk the perimeter of the camp roaring ... now that was SCARY cause that sound goes RIGHT through your whole body !!

I thought the armed guards were wildlife warriors preventing Tim doing a "Crocodile Dundee" impersonation!
