Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe....WOW!

We had to leave Pretoria at 6 am for our 9:30 flight to Victoria Falls, so I kissed Sophia good-bye as she slept in bed, and Suzan at the door as she saw me off. I was traveling light, with just a 10 kg rolling bag, my backpack, and a tote bag of various things. I hoped that Suzan could get my other stuff home ok.

There were 20 of us loaded onto a small bus, not the one we'd had the rest of the trip, pulling a trailer with all of our luggage. Some of the people in the group hadn’...

The Most Remarkable Travel Day!

This was definitely the most outstanding day of this entire African trip. I started off by going down to the Zambezi River in front of our lodge and sat on a moored cruise boat while waiting for the sunrise over the Zambezi. The scattered clouds were reflected beautifully in the glassy water and the cool temperatures (50F) made it hard to believe that I was in the tropics. I punched away on my journal as I watched the sky brighten, a beautiful African sunrise giving me chills on the back of m...

Rafting the Zambezi

I went on a good 6-mile run this morning down to the falls entrance to check the closing time, and could see the sun rising over the mist in the distance. Perhaps I should have had my camera and $20 to try to take sunrise photos right then.

By the time I got back to the lodge the Shearwater vehicle was there to pick us up for rafting, so I took a quick shower, gobbled down a bowl of cereal, and was on my way with Cha, Dorcas, and Torie to our half-day rafting adventure. The flow of the...

... of the Delta then hopped into Mokoro's (little pole powered wooden boats) and coasted down the Delta for 1.5 hours to get to our bush camp. We encountered a hippo in the very very narrow passage way which was slightly hair raising but other than this had a lovely time cruising into camp. We then spent 2 days lounging around, going on game walks, reading and napping. The highlight for me was the sunset cruise, I ...

... border runs in mid-stream. On the south bank Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe runs from 6 km above the falls to Batoko Gorge 12 km below them. It adjoins the town of Victoria Falls on the west. Within the site, a riverine strip of Zambezi National Park extends 9km upstream along the right bank of the Zambezi. The site’s centrepoint is 17° 56' S and 25° 51' E.

My Last Friday

... being too disruptive in class (& who to take the photos). With only a few students at school when we arrived I decided this was an opportunity. I asked my fellow volunteer Natalie (after first trying to teach one of my students how to use the camera) to take photos for me. Getting them to understand only one at a time and everyone would get a turn was also a bit of a challenge. As the children arrived, I took a photos with them. It worked out pretty well. A couple of the ...

Bungee jumping and rafting

Livingstone is insane, there is so much stuff to do. The border crossing into Zambia was a bit of a laugh as Charlie got the truck stuck and had to spend an hour digging it out.

On the first full day we did the "Big Air Experience" which involved a bungee of the bridge, a swing of the bridge and a slide across the gorge. The bungee and the swing ...
