Highlights from Zambia!!
You won't believe the shots we got while on our Christmas day game drive in South Luanga as well as our 'rhino walk' near Victoria Falls! Sorry about the shots at Vic. falls, the weather was dreadful and the camera broke!
Before getting to our destination, we stopped to buy some groceries... Just when we thought we would find it hard to 'get in the mood' about Christmas, this is what Jilly came across in the grocery store!
The truck we took to the bridge for Christmas carolling, as well as the game drives! On the bridge singing x-mas carols with other Mzungu and the locals!
Our midnight mass on Christmas eve! What a wonderful experience.
South Luanga National Park
Our Christmas morning game drive!! Some of the animals you have already seen on our past drives, some you have not....
Zebra Gazelles Warthogs
Lots of Elephants!! (the last one shows the elephant charging at us! We got between her and her little one)
Leopard!!
And the last of the Big 5... buffalo! Plus a puff adder snake on our night game drive! (sorry Beckster)
Christmas day dinner!
Our trip to the Conservation Wild Life camp/education centre. As you can see, it was difficult for us to find our way, especially if you look at the sign closely. And yes, that is a baby warthog in my lap! They also had a pet vervet monkey.
Victoria Falls area.
On our 'rhino walk' we saw lots more than just rhino... As you can see what got up close and personal with the rhino, and do you notice that one of the rhino's has 5 legs?!?
And some giraffe and dung beetle... first you see them on top of a pile of dung (either elephant or hippo) and then they role it up into a ball and then push it with their back legs while walking on their front legs! It was amazing to see!!
Our house boat for New Year's!!
A village walk on one of the islands when we were floating around the Zambezi!
Victoria Falls! (In the last photo, I am standing on the top of the falls, on the other side of the gorge)
