VISITING SAM'S FAMILY, ZIMBABWE

   On the way to Imbabala Zambezi Safari Lodge our guide, Sam, had to pick something up at his home.  So we all had a chance to visit with his family.  Sam has four children, including two sons and two twins who were born about a month before thes photos were taken.  Sam has a great family and we really enjoyed meeting them.
