Day 12 Zambezi River

Early flight from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls.  About two thirds of us have continued on this extension, the rest are flying to JFK today.  Our hotel, the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, is pretty nice.  Our back deck looks over a small water hole, pictures will follow the next few days.  Our activity today was an afternoon-evening cruise on the Zambezi River.  What a show, see photos below.  Tomorrow we go to Victoria Falls.

Lots of warthogs and monkeys on the hotel grounds, Gloria got a little too close to this one; he charged her.

We were unclear if these elephants were frolicking or mating.  At one point our guide told us they were male and female, later, he said they were both males.  Hence our confusion.

Six to eight hippopotami were right in front of our boat.
