I can't believe we are already half way through our trip! Time is flying here in Gabs and lots of exciting things have been happening. To celebrate our half way point, the group left Thursday night and travelled north to Kasane for a safari in Chobe National Park. What an amazing experience! We camped out in the park overnight admist the lions and elephants and saw lots of wildlife on both the river and on-land safari tours. Saturday morning we crossed the border into Zimbabwe to head to our backpackers lodge. The next day we woke up to go see Victoria Falls. The falls - being one of the seven wonders of the world, was just that! I can't even explain to you how soaking wet we were. The mist was unreal and the view (when the sun shone through the mist) was breathtaking.
After being drenched by the falls and having only a few hours left before our departure back to Gaborone, my friend Jess and I literally ran out of Zimbabwe and crossed over the Zambia border by foot. We reached the Zim-Zam bridge where we BUNGIED!! I was so nervous but have always wanted to bungi jump. The drop off the bridge was 111 metres and it was absolutely nuts! I would do it all again in a heart beat. This weekend was definitely the most amazing weekend of my life, and I was so happy to be able to see such amazing things while here in southern Africa.
