How would you describe this trip to a friend?
It was one of the most exciting, awe-inspiring experiences of my life. When you go somewhere like Africa, you really feel transported to another place because it is jsut so different from where we live. And I loved the fact that Zimbabwe offers so many different landscapes and activities. It made for a non-stop, action-packed adventure.
What did you enjoy most about Zimbabwe?
I loved the variety of activities because I don't think I could have sat on the back of a safari truck looking at animals for two weeks. Also, the Victoria Falls area was phenomenal, but you need to go for more than jsut one day. The whitewater rafting was unbelievable, but not for the faint-of-heart and everyone should see the Falls by air. I microlighted over them which was one of the coolest experiences ever. I recommend it to everyone.
Before going on this trip, I wish I had known that...
I would be eating European style food most meals. I was expecting sadza and zebra and got chicken and rice most meals. But if you ask for it, you can get some great traditional food.
