Zambia (24/11)

ZAMBIA | Sunday, 24 Nov 2013 | Views [276]

My fourth African country in just over a week. Like they say, another day, another border crossing. The trip from where we are staying at Lokuthula Lodges to the Royal Livingstone Hotel in Zambia is around 20 kilometres but with the border crossing thrown ... Read more >

Ok, so we're now at the end of our first full day in Vic Falls, and what a day it's been. I had two of the most amazing firsts today. 1. I had my first sighting of the falls themselves. This has to be one of the most awe inspiring sights I have seen ... Read more >

What can I say about Bulawayo? It's a stopping off point on the way to Victoria Falls... It's also home to many of Deb and Amy's family, who are some of the nicest, greatest, friendliest people you will ever meet and it's also Zimbabwe's best kept ... Read more >

The fact that I’ve posted this will let you know that I have at least managed to get here in one piece. I did the trip with a 4 ½ hour stop-over in Dubai which could have done with being 2 hours shorter in an ideal world. The trip from ... Read more >
