Lions and zebras running around everywhere?" "Well, yeah." "That's the way most Americans picture Africa. They watch too many nature shows on TV, and when they walk off the plane wearing bush jackets and khaki, they're surprised to find a modern city like Cape Town. Not a zebra in sight, except at the zoo."
