MOSI-AO-TUNYA NATIONAL PARK

Exploring Victoria Falls from the Zambia side in Mosi-ao-Tunya National Park was incredible. We arrived mid afternoon and pretty much covered every square inch of the park. As the sun sank low in the sky we hiked back up to the Eastern Cataract, which provides an amazing view of the falls, and watched the sun go down. The park stayed open late that evening in the event of the full moon and the monthly appearance of the lunar rainbow. We stayed and watched as the moon came up and the metallic moonbow appeared over the falls, it was amazing. I tried to take a picture of it, but to no avail. The next day we packed our bags and left Victoria Falls...

BABOONS

The next day we decided to check out Victoria Falls from the Zambian side in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. Mosi-ao-Tunya means 'The Smoke That Thunders'! There were tons of baboons in the park. Here's a little video of a few encounters that we had...

ZAMBEZI RIVER CRUISE

After some good times in Cape Town, I took off with Laura and Rhea for Victoria Falls. And after a long couple of days on the bus we arrived in Livingstone, Zambia. Victoria Falls is split between Zimbabwe and Zambia, so we decided to use Livingstone as our base and spend a few days exploring the area. On our second evening we took a sunset boat cruise on the Zambezi, just above the falls, where the river is wide and calm. It was a great evening, with a delicious BBQ and an open bar, hippos and crocodiles swimming in the river, and an amazing sunset. There were a couple of families on the boat, and a handful of kids running around, who almost provided as much entertainment with their commentary on the animals, as the animals themselves. After the boat cruise ended and we arrived back on land, we hung out at a riverside bar and danced late into the night with our new friends. Here's a little video of the boat cruise...
