Days 71 thru 73 (Rhia’s comments are italicized) Leaving lake Kariba was a little sad. The room and luxury was really nice. The climate was ideal. The hospitality relaxing. But we do have a little bit of a deadline concerning… Continue reading

Days 68 thru 70 (Dan’s comments are italicized) We were sad to say goodbye to Livingstone as it had been fun. But we were excited to visit Lake Kariba. The lake took 5 years to fill up after completion of… Continue reading
