Thursday we got to go on a safari (both land and river) which was amazing. We saw giraffes, hippos, elephants, crocodiles, codoos, African fish eagles, appalas, monkeys, lizards, lots of birds, and I’m sure I missed some, but some were so close that you could see their eyes. It was pretty awesome.
We got picked up at the hotel and taken to Botswana so we had to get our passports out and stamped to enter in. We then got on a little boat that took us across the river and we got to sit between 4 African countires. Amazing! We got to the other side of the river and loaded on safari trucks and headed to the lodge. After we got to the lodge, we loaded on a booat to start our water part of the safari. The boat had 2 decks which several of us took advantage of. We got to see elephants, hippos, birds, crocodiles, some kind of huge lizard, and some other land animals. After the water safari, we headed back to the lodge for lunch. They served goat along with chicken and fish for meat and several different side dishes and desert. The deserts weren't great and the sauce for the goat was gross but the worse part was that I got stung inside of my mouth by a bee and Reagan dug to get the stinger out of my cheeck. After lunch, we loaded the safari trucks and off we went. We entered into the land reserve in 3 different trucks and began our journey. Each truck had a guide that told everyone about the animals we saw. We saw elephants, giraffes, monkeys, appalas, codoos, birds of all sorts, hippos, carcasses of dead animals, and I’m sure I left some out. After the safari we headed back the same way and made it to the hotel. Some people separated for dinner and activates for the night. I ate at Olga's Italin Cousine that took a long time but it tasted great.
Today I am going shopping and then back to Victoria Falls for a sunset cruise this afternoon.
Until next time...
Much Love,
Shanna
