• Last Safari

    September 24, 2025 in Zimbabwe ⋅ ☀️ 37 °C

    Another early start for our final full day in Zimbabwe before our trip home. We were picked up by our Safari guide after a quick change of plans in order to see the most animas we could. Driving into the game parks, it was full of different wildlife from a huge variety of birds to elephants, giraffes, jackals, zebras, buffalo, baboons, and even the odd wildebeest.
    Breakfast was served in the national park, with some good old bush coffee. Unfortunately Eden was a bit under the weather, so the kids were shared around a bit that morning to help out.
    From there we went back to our hotel to crash out a bit to catch up on missed sleep from the night before.
    After everyone had woken up, we went out to the Smokehouse to try and escape the heat of the midday sun. The place was great with a variety of craft beers and friendly staff. We ordered some tapas which were quickly smashed down.
    From there it was across to Victoria Falls Safari Lodge for a swim in the pool for the kids, and a farewell drink for the adults. Lennox absolutely loved the pool and we had to fight to get him out. We had to leave early to give the kids a full night sleep before our big day of flights the next day, and so we could start packing up all the kids toys, clothes, food, electronics, and our own!
