Weekend in Livingstone

We arrived safely in Livingstone, Zambia Friday afternoon and met up with our VecTech sponsor Tristan at our gorgeous hostel!

We were surprised by how dense the mosquitoes are here-in the dry season! We’ve gotten very diligent at applying our bug spray!

On Saturday, we did the ultimate trifecta of activities: a canoe safari, a game drive, and a sunset cruise.

The guides teased us that the canoe safari was a boring option, but boy were they wrong! We saw crocodiles, beautiful birds, zebras, and more than enough hippos to last a lifetime!

The game drive was completely amazing! We saw giraffes, warthogs, zebras, giraffes, impalas, so many baboons (they’re like squirrels here) and even a wildabeast!

The highlight was when we came thisclose to beautiful elephants, including three babies!

Finally, we saw more hippos, elephants, and a beautiful African sunset!

On Sunday, we headed to Victoria Falls, one of the natural wonders of the world! After walking along to see the falls from above, we undertook an “Under the Spray” excursion! We thought this was going to be a nice little hike or boat ride into the mist… turns out we had to raft upstream through the Victoria Falls current and then scale countless slippery rocks! Best team-building exercise ever! It was all worth it though as we SWAM Victoria Falls!
