Day 3 Victoria Falls

Woke up at about 8, had breakfast and then lounged around the whole morning.


Shearwater Adventures picked us up and we travelled down a very bumpy road to go to the lion sanctuary. I felt a bit weary - as I realised that it doesn't matter how young these cubs are, they are still wild animals. After the obligatory talk on how to behave and act around the cubs, we were issued a stick and headed off to go and find our little companions. We walked about 200m and well, there they were. They were beautiful, two males and a female. It was so hot that they really wanted nothing to do with us. Only when the guide lead them home did they get all excited and started hotfooting down the path to their enclosure. It was truly a stunning and surreal experience to touch and walk side by side with one of the planets most majestic animals. It was also healing fro one's soul.

We then went for a ride on elephant back, which was also great. Had a sore backside after the hour long trek, but it was great being one with the elephants. We fed them elephants snacks afterwards and were then whisked away fro a night game drive. We saw rhino, buffalo, marabu storks, buck and zebra. The rhino were absolutely magnificent! After the drive, we went for a delicious bush dinner. It was great! The people we met and the guides were 5 star!

I was very sad to leave this little piece of paradise behind.
But make no mistake, I will be back!
