A Safari and a Wonder

View of Zimbabwe beyond the falls

Today we visited Victoria Falls and went on a Safari. It was amazing! Victoria Falls was so wide! It took us at least two hours to go around the whole thing. I was struck by the vast depths of water. Being one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Victoria Falls is one of the most superb things I’ve ever seen.

Zebras!

Before going on the Safari, I didn’t assume I would see anything. I was super wrong! We came upon many animals, including zebras, impalas, water buffalo, wilder beast, giraffes, and elephants. It really was an adventure. The water buffalo got so close to the truck that I think I almost smashed Zora between the seat. I also got the chance to see the sunset beside the water, which was a beautiful view. Overall, today was marvelous and it also gave us a chance to be a tourist and to just relax.
