Victoria Falls and The Elephant Camp

This morning we visited the Falls and were amazed. The flow over the falls from the Zambezi River is supposed to be relatively low at this time of year but it seemed massive to us. We will never forget the roar of the water going over the top and plunging into the rapids below. The photos will tell the story much better than we can explain in mere words. As you will see there is so much spray it is very hard to get clear photos, especially of the main falls. What an unforgettable experience!

From the Falls we travelled to The Elephant Camp which is a sanctuary for elephants, particularly orphans and injured elephants that have had to leave their herds. As the elephants are so tame there we were able to touch them and actually feed them by hand! We loved watching them wallowing in the mud! Yet another unforgettable experience.

Tomorrow we fly back to Johannesburg and pick up our flight to London, from whence we will fly to Rome and spend five days there before picking up our cruise. So this will be the last blog for a couple of days. But watch this space for more adventures of Phil and Sue.
