Travelogue, as defined by Wikipedia:

A travel journal, or road journal or travelogue , is an initially blank book carried by a traveler for the purpose of documenting a journey. Clippings, tokens, or tickets may be included as they are collected. The journal may also include notes written by acquaintances. Some journals feature hand-drawn illustrations, or even watercolors, of friends and places. A travelogue may also contain details of bad experiences.

Remember the story of Sinbad the lion?

Sinbad, only five or six years old, lived in a run down zoo in Bacau in northern Romania, in a tiny run of just 15 ft x 6 ft. As a cub he was used by a beach photographer, and taken on by a sea-side hotel but when Sinbad grew too big, he was brought to Bacau zoo, which had been closed by the Romanian authorities as it did not meet the EU Directive on zoos.

When the Born Free Foundation visited him last year, heavy snows had just melted, turning his enclosure into a muddy mess. Sinbad??s heavy mane was filthy and matted and soaked in mud.

?by: Low Jeremy

As far as African safaris go, Zambia is the one that keeps its secret for many years and still keeps some though it is already beginning to take its crown for African safaris top destinations.?
?
Zambia wilderness safari is absolutely an unknown realm when compared with more traditional national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and game reserves. But this still does not negate the fact that at some rate, the wilderness safaris that Zambia posses can be rated as top caliber and may even equal the qualities of other more visited hot African safari picks.?
