Zimbabwe

The next morning we went for Morning game drive. Prior to that we took a croissant and coffee/tea. Croissant was awesome!

During the drive, we manage to see 🦁s, impalas, elephants, giraffes, vulture, bald Eagle, a jackal hunting birds eggs while being harassed by the birds. We also saw from far hyenas and vultures feeding on a dead animal.

Also we saw how the impalas were staring at the lions' direction (even though the lions were far away). According to the guide, the bats sound to alert others about the lions' presence.

After game drive, we head back for breakfast, breakfast pancake = good. Bacon and pork sausage = good. English muffin = good.

Checked out and head to Crossing border to zimbabwe.

We rest for a bit before heading to the wet, wet Victoria falls. Wet cos the splash from waterfall flies up and turns into rain. We were all soaked.

Boma dinner. Local dinner.. Tried their mopani worm.  Crunchy like Ikan bilis.

Stars. Can see beautiful stars. Many bright stars. No cloud.

Day2

Game drive again. This time colder. Maybe cos of the wind and lack of hot drinks in the morning.

Saw giraffe, rhino and elephants up close. Saw zebra and baboons too.

Breakfast in the safari. Food was simple. But excellent.. (big breakfast)

Now waiting for heli ride. Will take us around Victoria falls and safari

Updated. The helicopter ride was awesome.! Get to see the gorge of the river and the waterfall again!

After helicopter ride we were taken to the market (didn't buy anything cos no small change)  before we head for lunch, which is fish n' chips in a hotel across kfc.. We stopped by at the town for a bit but nothing too special. Most of the gift shops were selling what they already have at the market earlier.

We went back and rest at the hotel, before heading for a river cruise. The boat was three tier and they serve unlimited alcohol. I had two beers (prefer zimbezi over castle light) and two red wines (cabsav better than merlot). Didn't see anything too wow at the river. Saw elephants and hippos.

Dinner at the hotel. Received surprise birthday cake. Too big too finish so shared with every one,  including the staff.

Crashed on bed until 12am. Lol.
