Zambia

Sorry for the long delay but not every campsite we go to has internet facilities & even then it's not always possible to use due to length of conne4ction etc.
anyway, Livingstone campsite has been the best site so far. More modern & 2 swimming pools. But no9t much in the area, small shopping high street with few souvenir shops, restaurant which we visited twice and a supermarket. then there was town with markets for crafts etc which i never went to. Activities available were helicopter & micro-light flights, lion walks in zimbabwe & elephant walks. I talk a rhino walk one morning, getting close to the animals which was amazing. went walking for 3hrs & came close to the 2 rhinos that the park has. It's 70sqkm and absolutely amazing seeing them up so close. they almost came right upto us, within 1metre.....
we also saw zebra & giraffe up close.
left Livingstone a day earlier than expected as we didn't need to spend 5days there and would give us a extra day in Zanzibar.
On way up to next stop we went to Victoria Falls and got soaked twice by the massive back spray. Good fun though, water was both cold & warm at times. visited the curio markets there as well and bartered with the sellers. talked with them as well.
