Hwange and Vic Falls

Safari begins!! Our first day after our first night under canvas listening to elephants bath less then 100 meters away. It took us 13 hours to arrive and with in half hour we'd spotted a lion walking in the distance (picture still to come!) Above the group me, Lester, Sport, Kate, Michael and June

You know we thought that he was yawning but its actually a warning when they do this not to get to close! So we didnt!!

The camp surrounded by a twig fence!! We had cold showers and then fires to keep us warm after!!

So the last night about 2am ish an elephant walked strait through the fence as the watering hole had run dry, he walked through the camp drank from the septic tank and then walked through the fence on the other side! I just pushed my ear plugs in and tried to ignore what was going on and Lester stayed inside with me, But sport and kate rushed out to make sure he didnt come to the tents or wreck the kitchen area!! We'll show you a little video of where he went when we get home! Apparently best not irritate them or they charge ( I feel the same actually!)

Afternoon snack?

This is a baby hyena, we went out most mornings around 6 to try and see the predators this little chap was very inquisitive, the other morning we saw a cheetah but we spooked him and he ran so fast we couldn't get a photo!Awesome

We saw masses of ele's and their babys!!

If you sit at the watering holes you see the Elephants run to them as their so thirsty and go nuts rolling in the water and mud we spent hours watching!

Crocks lying in wait for the other animals to slip up!

Zebra!

Giraffe!

Victoria Falls we stayed in a lodge surrounded by monkeys and wart hogs! Seeing vic falls from Zimbabwe side was far more impressive and you get to see the full length!

spot the silly fisherman!! He saw us then started waving!! People even pay to swim in a pool on the edge of the falls!

On our final day we did a final view of the falls but from the air!! wohoo!

"Raise your hand Maurice its more fun if you raise your hands"
