Zambia Day 1: Livingstone

We were up before the crowd would even consider waking up today, all to give back the keys of our little home and drive to the airport. Very tired, we got breakfast and hopped on our flight to Johannesburg, and after a little break there, went on to Livingstone, Zambia. Mum lived here for 2.5 years as a young girl, and we already saw that her old convent school is still standing and actually still in action! 

We are staying in a pretty fancy canvas tent, complete with electricity and showers... Open to sky shower, but pretty cool! Ill be sleeping behind a mosquito net tonight!

We had a very quick turn around due to the extreme wait at the arrival passport control, despite having prepaid visas we were stuck in the same line as everyone else!

We met up with Stan the Man who took us to the Mosi-oa-Tumya National Park, where we went on a 2 hour game drive! Within a minute we ran into elephants!! It was so lovely driving around seeing the African Bush I've grown up hearing about. Throughout the 2 hours we saw many elephants, giraffe, zebras, impala, warthog, water buck, crocks and birds. I took as many photos as I could and I hope some turned out- the light was beautiful but difficult to shoot in.

We've since come back and had dinner at the lodge. Showers are ahead as tomorrow we are up early again to go to Botswana to visit Chobe National Park.  This is awesome!!!
