This morning we left Matobo National Park early. We again drove through Bulawayo. We needed petrol but it wasn’t easy to find. In Zimbabwe petrol is not always available. We drove past a lot of petrol stations that didn’t have petrol but we were lucky to find one with petrol.
Before we began our trip to the Victoria Falls, we visited SOS Children’s Village in Bulawayo. These villages are situated all over the world and provide care and education for orphans or children that are taken away from parents who are not capable of taking care of them. It was a very nice village and the children were lovely.
After that we headed towards the Victoria Falls. On our way there were a lot of animals crossing the road; cows, goats, donkeys, monkeys, sheep and pigs. So we had to stop several times.
Around 15h we arrived at our rest camp at the big falls. We immediately noticed that it is very touristic here. The people on the street kept on asking us to buy things from them and tried to book activities for us. It was a bit annoying. It is not the Zimbabwe we are used to for the past few days.
We booked a tent with beds in the Victoria Falls Rest Camp. It is a very nice tent with even light in. It was the same price as camping with your own tent so we didn’t bother to put up our own tent. Now we can sleep in a bed and have a lot of space in the tent.
After putting our stuff in the tent, we walked around a bit in the town and did some shopping at Spar. In the evening we ate dinner in the restaurant in the rest camp.
Tomorrow we will go to the Victoria Falls. We cannot wait to see them! From here we can even here the falls. Very exciting!
Good night!
