Victoria Falls Trip

After getting the kids off on Saturday wetoow a few days to rest to get ready for the second week of our shut down vacation.  The Garret's, Birds, Us and Kristy set out Monday morning for Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.  Both Brother Garrett and I had seen the falls while serving in Rhodesia and Zambia many years ago so it was a return trip for us but a first time for the others.

Victoria Falls was on the Birds bucket list before returning home so this was special for them


We were picked up by the Wild Horizon transport people and taken to our digs for our stay in Victoria Falls.

I had decided to give Kristy a real African experience instead of staying in a hotel so. . . . . .














We got checked in and took a walk about to get familiar with the place and all the amenities.

We booked ourselves for dinner at the Boma Restaurant which was an African treat second to none. This was a buffet featuring wild game as well as traditional foods along with  real African entertainment of drums, dancing and singing.











We got up early Tuesday morning, had provided breakfast at the nearby Vic Falls Hotel and then
headed out to see the falls.  











                                   Here are a few other pictures of the magnificent Victoria Falls.










After having a remarkable, soaking wet and fun time in Victoria Falls we got home Wednesday evening and Kristy left to go home Thursday evening.  Another great time and adventure with our good friends the Garrets and Birds as well as our terrific daughter Kristy.
P.S.The baboons are alive and well there - right into our rondeval!
