We have flown to Zimbabwe to view Victoria Falls. It's part of a tour. As such I expected to be put up at a middle of the road resort such as we had at Iguasu Falls in Argentina. The tour description described it as three star. When our transfer from the airport delivered us we first stopped at a posh place in town with massive grounds and a huge building. We almost got out there by mistake, but resolved to settle for something a bit less. We drove quite a ways out of town and our expectations continued to drop. Off on a side road we arrived at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge. The lodge is on a hillside overlooking a Nature preserve, there is a watering hole quite close. The grounds are beautiful the room is large and overlooks the watering hole. A book in the room lists this as one of the top one hundred hotels in the world. Jackpot!!
We spent the afternoon in the bar looking out over the bush. We saw lots of vultures and several wart hogs. Later we went to our room and Linda thought she heard elephants so we looked out and there they were two of them at the watering hole.
Pics of Linda at the bar and our room. Tomorrow we view the falls.
