Livingstone Safari Lodge & Campsite

... truth is that she pays very little attention to us and I think she mainly brought in the dance group because a film crew from England is staying at the project, filming for a documentary that could potentially bring a lot of attention and funding to the project. Although she does respond when you make an express request, the coordinator has never discussed anything about how volunteer assignments are made, indicated that they have any system for ...

... at some point extremely soon i would have to come face to face with my greatest fear! <br><br>i was now told to stand up <br><br>i had spoken to a guy in the hostel earlier in the day ...........who took great pride in telling me about all the things that can go wrong on a bungee...., about how when he had taken his first jump .........he had remained calm the whole way through the preperation , up until the point where he had been told to walk towards the edge and have his toes dangling ...

... even when we didn't particularly want to. I guess that was the price for getting to see the village. We did see a few demonstrations of local practices -- such as how the women still pound the millet by hand with huge poles, which looked like incredibly hard work. The experience left my wondering how tourists could ever see the more traditional villages without it being so awkward, but I'm not sure of the answer.<br><br>On Monday, we had our final long drive to ...

... my mom&#8217;s cousin&#8217;s wife&#8217;s friend&#8217;s friend. Crazy, right? Nevertheless, the hospitality that Michael and Eloise showed us was incredible. They very graciously opened their home to us, included us in family dinners and brais, made sure we could get where we needed to go &#8211; whether by lending us the car or giving us a lift, and recommended places for us to go and things for us to do.<br><br>On to the joys of ...

... we were to be back by noon. When we arrived I hadn&#8217;t collected everything I needed and so we were the last off, stopping for a bathroom break and losing sight of everyone. Three paths led in different directions and so we struck off down the middle path with Claire. Our first glimpse of Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, was very disappointing. Where water normally cascades in sheets over the ...

... konnten mehrere Male Leoparden beobachten (mit Beute, beim Trinken und mit Jungem). Unzählige Nashörner, waren an den Wasserlöchern zu sehen (sogar einmal am Tag) und ein Löwenrudel erfreute uns am frühen Morgen. <br><br>Während im Etosha aussteigen verboten ist, die Tiere angeblich gefährlich sind und alle Camps eingezäunt sind, ist dies hier im Caprivi etwas anders. Kurz vor dem Caprivi durchfährt man einen Veterinärszaun (eingerichtet zum Schutz der riesigen ...

... of the World and David Livingstone, the Scottish explorer, is believed to have been the first European to view the Victoria Falls. <br><br>I have so much to tell you about this adventure but I have little time. <br><br>I'll leave you with this: Theresa and I had a near death experience with a croc, ran over a hippo on a sunset cruise, saw many elephants, baboons, monkeys (no ...

After our mad rush to get to Grubby's Grotto to meet our safari, we learned that we would actually be staying in Livingstone for 2 more days. We were quite excited, because this meant we would be able to go rafting on the Zambezi River. We signed up for a half day rafting trip and a "sunset cruise" (aka booze cruise) for the following day, and spent the rest of the day running various errands around the city. That evening, at our first group dinner, we met the people we would be ...

... the is in one of the poorest, if not THE poorest, ward of Livingstone. There is at least one bar nearby, and the bars either stay open all night or open at 8AM. They have issues sometimes with drunks near the school - so they are building the wall. Because we are helping to build the wall, most mornings there are three or four others from our group that also go to our school to help build while we teach.<br><br>We had a ...

... 100m below. At some of the look outs were you granted with beautiful rainbows floating above the mist, others were totally clear offering fantastic views of the tumbling water. You could walk up river and see where it starts to cascade then as you get deeper and deeper into the falls the mist rises and comes pouring down on you like a tropical rain storm. We were drenched. It was hilarious and as we were hot and hungover, a welcomed relief. As it was Sunday most of the ...
