in my final days of travel we departed the democratic republic of congo and headed into rwanda. our driver, deo, pointed out sites, told stories of different communities, explained what agriculture was grown where, described the plight of the sick banana trees, and described the different advances they had made throughout the country over the past several years such as all of the new roads that were built. deo has a soft, accepting nature and a sweet tone that made him a pleasure to spend t...

walking thru the courtyard past the women's section i hear my name being called in a thick congolese accent --'Loren!

we spend two hours in the truck driving slowly thru the brush, reading the spoor that lead us in every direction, listening to the calls of the birds and the stamping feet of the antelope herds until, suddenly she's there, a few feet separating her from us. a tawny lioness on the hunt. every other time i've seen her she's been lounging, lying on her back after a feed, soaking in the sun, barely aware of our presence. today she's alert, stalking low to the ground, barely noticeable in the b...
