11/23/17 - On 11/5, We were up at 7 00 am, breakfast at 7 30 am and then said our "goodbyes" and departed the camp via jeep for the small airstrip where we boarded the small plane and flew to Livingston. There we boarded a bus to the border. Went through passport control and then off to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. We needed to drive to the hotel that we would return to after our trip to the wilderness because we had a tourist that was too ill to travel to the wilderness and was staying in Victoria Falls to get some medical care. At the hotel, Deborah talked with the concierge desk to schedule a tour to Victoria Falls to swim in the Devil's pool. A pool on the top of the falls right on the edge and the swimmers can actually pier off the edge!! We then left for a three hour drive to Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe. At the entrance, we met the jeeps to take some us to Kashawe Tented Camp. We were greeted by the staff with song and dance, a wet towel to clean hands and face. We had juice and a snack during our orientation to the camp and our tent assignments. We had a short late game drive and saw some giraffes. Since they were short staff, out tour guide Manuel became one of the drivers and guide. We got back to the camp and had a very nice dinner. Of course, since it was dark, we got escorted to our cabins.
