Zambia: Zambezi, Victoria Falls and Mosi oa Tunga National Park

The end of our first real day in Africa... and what a day and a half it's been already!

Not quite up to processing it all at the moment (mainly because I'm knackered and falling asleep!), but in the meantime, some visuals... starting with the view from the plane window as we came in to land at Livingstone, with the Zambezi sprawling across the dry bush and, just visible above the wing, on the left of the picture, roaring over the cliff at Victoria Falls: Mosi oa Tunga, the smoke that thunders.

From the top: bull Elephant; Giraffe; Victoria Falls, from the Zambian side; Hippo, a common sight during our evening "cruise" up the Zambezi; male White Rhino, an amazing experience, walking through the dry bush and right up to a group of four rhinos... jaw dropping; Little Bee-eater; Bushbuck, a shy-ish animal, although last night a male trotted across the lawn at our hotel!; African Finfoot, another denizen of the hotel garden, a fantastic, and fantastically weird, bird; Waterbuck, our first 'big game' as we arrived at the hotel yesterday.
