The endless African sky that writers love to talk about is a nice bonus too, especially around sunset.<p> This is the view from a typical bungalow's balcony, as well as from the lovely Fish Eagle bar. This is not a static view, however. Hippos are often cavorting in the water, eagles swoop by, and dozens of other birds are usually perched nearby. <p>Just don't wander away from camp though: crocodiles, lions, and leopards are also wandering around. juliana 2006-06-28T12:09:11-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
