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...

... He named it Victoria Falls in honor of his queen. <br> <br>The Falls are a fantastic site to see and it has awesome power generated from the 1.7 km. (1 mi.) mouth wide volume of water flowing over a vertical drop of 91 m. (300 ft.). The resulting spray is astounding, splashing drops of water up into the air to form a smoke like cloud that is visible on a clear day up to 50 km. (30 mi.) away. The swirling mist rising above the savanna looks ...

Zambeze rafting

... and 20 minutes in Pandora pond and of we went to the Mohaka river. I s&gt;&gt;t myself. <br>Today Robin and myself decided we would do the 50/50 deal.<br>This was 50 percent rafting and 50 percent boogie boarding. It sounded good until the guide said that we would be doing grade 5 rapids on the boogie board, this is the Zambizie river. One grade 5 rapid was like a hydro slide (5 meter drop) the rest i cant remember. What a laugh. 24 rapids ranging from ...

Part 1: The Gang Sneaks into Zimbabwe

... did not work. We had a brilliant idea. Lindsey had on a heavy khaki shirt and Sarah was wearing lightweight cotton pants. Lindsey and Sarah switched bottoms and Lindsey lost 0.5 kilogram. The man still would not let us jump together. We sat around trying to lose more weight but it did not work, so Brittany told a little white lie and said she weighed 0.5 kilogram less. The man bought it and let us go together. <br><br>Brittany and Lindsey signed their lives ...

LIVINGSTONE I PRESUME?

... all in competition. The festival even includes bands from Ireland and Sweden, but I could do without that. The Irish stuff is good, though I&#8217;ve heard it all before, but the Swedes just don&#8217;t get it, never have, just like ABBA, derivative dreck derivative of derivative dreck. It spoils my African mood. I&#8217;m not drunk enough, not at all, though I appreciate the African stuff and the fact that they bought my self-proclaimed journalist&#8217 ...

... bridge to see the Falls. Mike a local entrepreneur offered to look after our jeep as there are lots of baboons in the area that do damage to vehicles. He had some Zimbabwean notes to sell as souvenirs. We went to the bridge and even crossed into the part saying 'Welcome to Zimbabwe&#8217;. The border official had given us a small piece of paper with a 3 circled which gave us permission to go onto the bridge. Of course we didn&#8217;t ...

Lions and hippos and giraffes, oh my!

... there when I will the lottery. Our motorboat with a private driver was waiting for us down by the river so we hopped in, not really knowing what was in store for us. Our driver gave us a couple of beers (best beer ever...Mosi) and drove us around looking for animals. Next we stopped at a tiny island in the middle of the Zambezi River where a waiter (Felix) was waiting for us with a very romantic picnic complete with wine and appetizers. Haha. Turns out they usually get ...

Ghost Town and the Smoke that Thunders

... which I hope to post here soon).<br><br>After a thorough drenching, I made my way back to the Victoria Falls Bridge to see some of my tour mates do the 2nd highest Bungy in the World. I've never had the urge to do a bungy (it's just not that appealing to me) but I have great respect for those who choose to willingly throw themselves off cliffs (in a non-suicidal sense).<br><br>The day ended with a nice dinner at the Kingdom Casino. There was ...
