Earlyish breakfast so we could get to Vic Falls by 8am, all went well taxi picked us up at 7.45. We followed the track which leads you to several view points. It was amazingly big and noisy. We got very wet with the spray from the falls. Very majestic and impressive sight. The walk took us about 2 hours. The falls are very difficult to photograph, the sun not in the greatest position first thing in the morning and of course all the spray. Photos don’t do it justice. We finished with a coke on ice at the cafe by the gate. Our taxi picked us up, we spent an hour or so at the lodge before getting in the vehicle and going for a game drive. We went into Zambezi National Park, saw very little for a while then got into very close quarters with a herd of elephants. We were in before we realised and needed to make a quick retreat. There were some pretty big bull elephants!! Apart from seeing about 50 elephants, we saw zebra, impala, baboon, warthogs. The elephants were by the Zambezi, tearing down bushes, we thought we may be next, so got out of their way. Dinner at the lodge, I had stir fried crocodile, it was really very nice a cross between chicken and fish. Good WiFi at the lodge. Not sure what we are going to get for the next 4 days in Hwange. Whatch this space.
The Zambezi River Upstream.
