Cate 2023

  A packed car...we unloaded and arranged her room in just a few hours, grabbed a bite to eat, and found a bike for her to use on campus. Ram Welcome started the next day!

We unpacked...then packed up and headed to Fort Collins, Colorado to move Cate in at Colorado State.  

Time to head home...Livingstone...Johannesburg...Atlanta...El Paso  

Heading back to our room, we stopped to enjoy the entertainment at Boma Lodge  

It was great to see the Falls from above on our helicopter ride!  

Hiking along the falls, we had some great views, saw a man crossing the falls on a slack line, and enjoyed the Baboons looking for leftovers in the trash!  

Lunch at Lookout Cafe...enjoying great views of Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River  

At the Lion encounter we road through an area where Lions live and watched them have their morning feed.  We watched the Hyena, and were able to get pretty close to him.  Finally, we fed the Ostrich.  

We stopped by the Victoria Falls hotel on our way back. It was built in 1904 by the British as an accommodation for the people who were working on the Cape to Cairo railway  

At the end of the day, we took at boat to Devli's Pool and Angel's pool, getting photos at the edge!  

We enjoyed lunch at the Dusty Road cafe, where the cooked and served the local food.  

We enjoyed an elephant encounter, where we were able to be close tot he elephants and feed them  

We took a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River, siting a few hippos in the water  

We flew to Victoria Falls and settled into Lokuthulu Lodge.  We viewed the daily vulture feeding from their outside deck    

We enjoyed a horseback safari, guided by Ashleigh Curry's cousin, through a local township  

Enjoying their dinner...which only happened every 3-4 days  

After taking with fellow guides, we were able to find the Lion pride resting in the brush.  As the sunset, the females lions got up, and headed out for their kill. By the time the sun had set, we watched the pride having dinner with one of the cape buffalo that they had killed  

The Lodge sat near a water hole, where you could view animals coming for water.  It also fed Elephants each afternoon near the lookout
