We were up at 6:00 and in the jeep by 6:30 for our morning game drive in Zambesi National Park. Following are some pictures of the animals we saw:
 |
| Zebra |
 |
| Giraffe |
 |
| Cape Buffalo |
 |
| Elephants |
 |
| Enjoying a cup of tea before heading to the Lookout Cafe for breakfast |
After breakfast we drove a short distance to the entrance of Victoria Falls. Following are some of the views we captured there:
 |
| View from our table at the Lookout Cafe of the Zambezi River and the bridge at Victoria Falls |
 |
| Another view of the rushing Zambezi River |
 |
| Partial view of the falls, first discovered by British explorer David Livingstone in 1855 |
 |
| Victoria Falls is considered the largest falls in the world. It's taller and wider than Niagara Falls, although the volume of water over Niagara is greater |
The various viewpoints of the falls each only offers a
partial view of this magnificent site
 |
| The falls produces a constant mist as visitors walk the path along the falls. The flow over Victoria Falls diminishes during the spring and summer so we were lucky to view it during its peak. |

Our next stop was an elephant encounter with a herd of rescued elephants at an elephant sanctuary within the resort boundaries where we are staying. The sanctuary was first established in 1992 when 4 orphaned elephants were rescued during one of Zimbabwe's sanctioned elephant culling operations.

| A family of 5 are coming to greet us |
 |
| Meet Jock, a 42-year old bull elephant and one of the first residents at the Elephant Camp |

After our elephant encounter, we had a quick bite to eat and showered and then headed to our 3 hour sundowner cruise on the Zambezi River.
