Zambia

Well, that has taken an age to download the photos! I hope you enjoy them. For our Easter holidays we went to Zambia and Victoria Falls. Below are some photos.

The first one is of the Eastern Cataract of Vic Falls. This part is dry for about 6 months of the year but right now it is at its fullest.

This is the bridge that Cecil Rhodes had built which now connects Zambia to Zimbabwe. The bungee jumpers go from here. I managed to escape having to do it although Jen was up for it!

The edge of the falls are just over the back of me about 10 metres away. Aaaggghhh.

We took a helicopter ride over the falls which was very good. Only 15 minutes but that was actually enough to time to take it all in.

We also did a lion walk with a couple of 18 month old lionesses. Was slightly intimidating but overall it was good fun.

We went into Botswana for a day to go to Chobe National Park (pictures of elephants below). This was the ferry across the Zambezi which you have to take between countries.

We stayed 35km upstream from Vic Falls at a place called Bovu Island. This is our accommodation which looked out over the Zambezi.

This is our transport to get onto the island!
