Day One/Arrival:

Day Two:

Meeting the chief and getting to tour the village of Mpisi:

     

Visiting the local school, Chamabondo. Brayden got to teach a bunch of the kids how to play lacrosse and they just loved Brookie:

  

Helicopter ride over Victoria Falls.  It was breathtaking to see the falls and all the gorges from above:

  

Day Three:

Sylvester the Cheetah…this experience was like nothing we’ve ever dreamed of:

 

Two of the most terrifying things we have done on this trip…so far;). The boys ziplined 1,400 feet across a gorge at 86 miles per hour and Brooke and Mamma got pushed off the edge of a platform for a 230 foot free fall gorge swing. We’re still recovering. Check out Brad’s video to see the process in action (Zipline and Gorge Swing Video):

   

Soothing our nerves watching the sunset, overlooking another gorge behind The Elephant Camp:

Prepping for our elephant ride:

Saying good-bye to our guide, Mark:

Off to Cape Town! We get to see Nania and Babba (Grandma and Grandpa) in three days!
