    Camping in the bush with lions wandering around the camp site. Loved the trip in the small boat off the house boat. Loved Victoria Falls.

    Seeing the animals so close and so many. Seeing a family of elephants playing in the mud. An elephant came to our camp. The houseboat and camping were an adventure. The cultural show at Kwalape and the river cruise at Kwalape. Vic falls of course - so many.

    A fabulous trip. Pack warm clothes for early morning safaris and be prepared for two or three early get ups - but they are worth it. There are a couple of days, which are mainly spent travelling in a minibus, but you get to see a lot of the countryside and how people live. Always keep your eyes open for wildlife - you never know when it will appear - elephants, in particular, don't like to stay within the confines of Game Reserves! Take binoculars too.
