Chobe Safari

A few pictures from our amazing safari day at Chobe.

We spent the first half of the day on a relaxing boat ride where we saw piles of hippos, birds, kudu, warthogs, crocs, buffalo, giraffes, impalas ect. The last half of the day we jumped into an open safari vehicle and bounced around the safari. Chobe has the largest population of elephants in all of Africa - 60,000 elephants!! I would say we saw several hundred off in the distance as well as a few dozen up-close and personal. We even had the chance to ride right up to a mother elephant and her baby bathing in the river. It was by far the most wildlife we have seen thus far and overall an amazing day.

This is how close we were to the elephants!

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe!

View from National Park of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

This past week myself, Meeka, Jack and Matt traveled to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. There are absolutely no words that can describe the beauty of Victoria Falls, I’m not even sure if my pictures can do it justice. From the Zim side we were able to view 70% of the falls from the national park. We spent our first day in Zim running from the view points in the park and got completely soaking wet from playing in the mist of the falls. I have no doubt that this was a day that I will never forget. I can see why Vic Falls is one of the seven wonders of the world - it is an absolutely breathtaking sight.

One of the many rainbows over the falls

This is a bit hard to see, but it costs Zimbabwe citizens 50 BILLION Zim dollars to enter the park

After the park we went to the bridge that connects Zimbabwe and Zambia. From the bridge I watched as Matt bungee jumped – I wish I had the courage to jump! It looked amazing and terrifying all at the same time.

Above: Matt bungee jumping of the bridge - the 3rd highest bungee in the world!
Below: Matt swinging above the falls - you have to look close but you can see him on the bungee!
