The famous "Big Tree," possibly the biggest existing Baobab tree.

Jerry's friends will recognize him, I'm sure.


Elephants on the edge of town, heading for town to browse in the evening.  

Once, we came around a corner heading for our lodge and there was a substantial bull elephant meandering down the road in our direction.  We followed the lead of everyone behind us and got well out of its way.


 

The bridge between Zimbabwe and Zambia.  Traffic is very light at present due to international restriction.

We walked out to the middle to get another view of the falls and the gorge as well as to watch bungee jumpers (below).


We are about 110 m above the water on the bridge.  That makes the highest bungee jumping in the world (or so they say; I understand there are others making that claim.)

I resolved not to try it; that wasn't hard, but they had plenty of takers.

 


 

The gorge at the outlet of the falls as seen from the bridge.  This is said to be some of the most spectacular category-5 white-water rafting in the world.  Our friend, Art Thiessen, has taken the trip a couple of times.
