First Night Excitement

 To get some rest before the journey to Macha, we stayed at a hotel in Lusaka City the first 

night! We explored the nearby mall, ate dinner and shopped a little.

Animals in Macha

Image
Spiders, roaches, cats, and cows oh my! We encountered many animals in Macha, most often being the large spiders that lived on our walls and ceilings. No matter where you go, in any room you can look up and around, and you will always find at least 4 spiders. Lizards often accompany spiders on the walls, but they were a breath of comforting fresh air to us. Kittens wandered around the hostel, and roaches made surprise appearances in the mornings. Cows followed around their shepherds all throughout the woods, and we could hear them coming from the sound of the cowbells around their necks :)

Final Hike

Image
Just before leaving Macha, we went on one final hike up a mountain. We departed at 8:30 AM, then after 9 miles, a bunch of feet in elevation, and a trek through the mud later we returned home just before lunch at 1:00. We saw beautiful greenery, mango and banana trees, and lots of cows. It was difficult, but worth every second.

Victoria Falls

After a long, 9-ish hour bus ride on bumpy roads, and multiple thunderstorms, we arrived at Victoria Falls! They provided polka-dot rain ponchos for us, and slightly rushed us through the tour as it was thundering almost the entire time. We thought we were 30 seconds from being down poured on at all times. We started by going around the back side of the falls, and then walked around the front by following a downhill path. We walked across a wooden bridge, where we got completely soaked from the spray resulting from the falls' aggressive rush of water. We saw baboons swinging from trees down below also! Overall, we all simply stared as much as possible, trying to mentally burn the image and sound of the falls in our brains forever.
