    Another early start to the day to head out to the elephant and cheetah experience. This time we were introduced to our elephants that we would be riding on, and got to meet their calves too! Lennox and Eden got saddles onto Bonny-face, a 6.5tonne bull that was the patriarch of the group. Our guide Bevan was just full of information for us, all about the animals and their way of life. Afterwards we got the opportunity to feed them and meet their young before they saluted us off.
    We then got to meet some cheetahs and take them for a walk which felt a little surreal. Lennox was happy to walk them with the lead, but declined patting them and getting too close.
    Lennox and Rory weren’t allowed on the lion experience, so Leah headed back to the house with them while we went on to meet some impressive white lions! We took a stroll with the pride before letting them rest during the heat of the day.
    It was an adrenaline-filled afternoon - over to Zambia again to do a zip line across the falls from Zambia to Zimbabwe, 111m bungee jump, and a swing that was just as big. It was an incredible exhilarating thrill and an amazing experience to have. Nerves were calm until you needed to approach the edge!
    That night, it was an early dinner to get the kids to bed. We went to The Lookout Cafe which overhung the chasm of the falls. The view was so incredible it looked painted! The food, drinks and service were just as good as the view too.
