We arrived at The Elephant Camp @ noon after flying from Cape Town to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. After being warmly greeted by staff, we met with Taki who helped us plan our itinerary for the afternoon and tomorrow. Since we’ll only be here one full day, our itinerary for tomorrow is quite full: a morning game drive followed by breakfast at the Lookout Cafe, then a visit to Victoria Falls, an Elephant Encounter followed by lunch and then a sundowner cruise on the Zambezi River.
After our meeting with Taki we had lunch and spent a bit of time unpacking. We met our guide Stan at 4:30 for a late afternoon drive through the property followed by drinks and snacks at the Batoka Gorge. On our way to the gorge we spotted a bull elephant, giraffes, impalas, kudus, waterbucks, Cape buffalo, and baboons.
What a positive portent of things to come!
