 | Zambia Things To Do | Tips 1 - 10 of 107 |  |
We spent three days and two nights on the river, getting as close to wildlife as never before. This was the only time I was disappointed by our local guide. Beeing the youngest in the group, my son was placed with him in the canoe, and in front and in the leading canoe. We were told that most of the job was done by the one sitting behind. But he did not do anything, the canoe slowed the others down and they started muttering about the lazy child. After a break I volountered to change with my son, and I had the same experience as he: The guide did nothing, I had to do all the work, it was really hard. And the others muttered again, this time about this weak, lazy, old women in the leading canoe. I then told Warren, Drifters' guide, that he should put one of the strong, young men in the front canoe, since it seemed like the local guide was sick or weekened (I did nor use the word lazy!) Other than that, the trip was overwhelming!
One of the days we were waved onshore to participate in the celebration of the kill of an elephant. Hunting elephants is strictly forbidden, but this one had damaged the crops of a village and was dangerous to people, and a special permit had been issued. This way the village had food for days, and a big party was under preparation.
We were not allowed to take pictures while canoeing due to the danger of sailing right into the mouth of a yawning hippo, thus all the pictures are taken on the way back up the river, when we enjoyed the luxury of a motorized boat ;-)

 Lake Kariba Sunset by stevezero
We chose a cruise in the evening, which involved the sunse over the lake. We also saw plenty of birds and lots of hippos.
It is eerie to see the remains of the dead trees which still protrude above the surface of the lake. Leave a Comment

 Victoria Falls by stevezero
The Zambezi River does not gather speed as it nears the drop, the approach being signaled only by the mighty roar and characteristic veil of mist for which the Kalolo-Lozi people named the falls Mosi-o-Tunya ("The Smoke That Thunders"). Leave a Comment
