I flew on June 22, 2009 from Joberg to Livingston, Zambia. I booked into Jollyboy Backpackers. I had a good experience with hostels in New Zealand so decided to try it. It was great! They provided me with many services and were able to book a three day stay at Elephant Valley Lodge in Chobe National Park. Before I left for the lodge, I spent the...

Today we were able to have one of the most incredible experiences of our lives.  We went on a Lion Encounter where we walked in the African bush for an hour and a half with two 9 month old lionesses. There were about 10 of us that went.  

When you first start out you sit and watch a video of all of the things that the company who is in ch...

Our first safari adventure began with our afternoon hippo and crocodile boat cruise along the Zambezi river. At first it was hard to spot the wildlife, but as the sun went down they started to emerge. First we spotted a crocodile sunning on the side of the river, followed by a monitor lizard. Down river, the hippos were active. It was amazing to...

Hello all! Ironically, the day that I last emailed, our luggage finally arrived! So, since then, we've been wearing CLEAN clothes. Imagine, I no longer smell like a dirty clothes basket. I win. Our last few days with Catholic Relief Services were wonderful. We went to church with Bridget and experienced a mass unlike anything I've quite seen bef...

Arriving in Africa was never going to be simple. My flight arrived late into Johannesberg so I had to run across airport to get my flight, only to find that the plane to Livingstone was also late. Then, when I arrived at Livingstone shed (sorry airport) the man at passport control needed to know where I was staying, but I couldn't tell him becau...

For people who are great with a camera, capturing the essence of something truly amazing is difficult but not impossible. For someone who has a rare and remarkable way with language, a well-worded sentences can approximate a terrific or sensational experience. We have seen a few photographs and heard a few stories that prove this fact. In our ex...

What an awesome sight!! Saw the Victoria Falls from both the Zambian and the Zimbabwean side, as well as from above by microlight. Got drenched with spray on land as the river was flowing very strongly. Stayed at the Bushfront camp for 2 nights - Rob's turn to develop a tummy bug. Each took an early morning microlight flight over Vic Falls. What...

HOW COLD!!!! Winter has come to Africa and it was bloody freezing (well for Africa anyway) here today. All of the girls were wrapped up like you wouldn't believe. I was still in shorts but did put a jumper on! Tough old bird me!!! I was in Dambwa again today but instead of babies i was in the pharmacy counting out the drugs! So funny. They even ...

May 21: Today we had a short drive across the border to Zambia. We left around noon and had camp set up by 1500. We left shortly afterwords for a sunset booze cruise on the Zambezi river. For $35 USD we had snacks, dinner, a beautiful view, wildlife and all you can drink. Any guesses on how this night ended up? The best was the Zambian nun on th...
