To Victoria Falls

On the 7th, a van and a safari truck transported us to a bus in Kasane, which took us to the border with Zimbabwe. After the formalities there, another bus took us to Victoria Falls and The Kingdom Hotel, where we would spend the night. That afternoon and evening included a  sunset cruise on the Zambesi and dinner at an African, um, nightclub, I think. We would see the Falls on the next day.
I want this paint job for our American camper

Baboon Sunrise

I was up early one morning at Senyati, hoping to see more elephants, but only a pack of baboons was there, passing through.
