We made it to Vic Falls without further mishap and quicky found Mramba River Lodge where we planned to stay and where we had arranged to have our parts delivered only to be told they didn't do camping anymore. We quickly found somewhere else called Bushfront Camp and went to book our excursions. I had wanted to go on a walk with lions encounter which was on the Zimbabwe side of the falls but due to the fact that general elections were taking place in Zimbabwe ...

Overnight we got in touch with Anton who had fitted our air suspension and by morning had arranged for a new kit to be sent to us at Victoria Falls where we were heading. Steve & Paula set off in front with us trailing along behind and we planned to make a stop for the night at Choma halfway to Livingstone.

We walked in and our eyes were bulging as all the foods we had dreamt about for weeks were there right before our eyes.
