TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!! This is the birthday blog. Today we had our final breakfast at Chalo Trust School and said our goodbyes. It was sad to leave our friends behind but exciting to start a new adventure! We got in a “bus” ride for 2 hours and 30 minutes and headed towards the Zambezi River. On the bus ride we saw trucks on the side of the road that tipped over and the bus driver told us that would usually happen three times a day! We also saw our first monkeys in Africa. It was pretty exciting.
When we got to the lower Zambezi, we sat and stared at the gorgeous view before we had delicious sandwiches for lunch. After lunch we settled into the boat for an hour and a half ride to the campsite we are staying at. The boat ride was very enjoyable. We saw many hippos, elephants, crocodiles, and people washing at the river. We were told we wouldn’t get wet on the boat ride, but unfortunately for everyone except Alex Bolhack and me got soaked! It was pretty hilarious.
When we arrived at the camp we were greeted by all of the workers and got a tour of the campsite that we are staying at. It is a very beautiful place! After settling in for an hour, we went on a night safari! We saw elephants, buffalo, waterbuck, impala, and hippos! It was a great experience.
When we returned we had a delicious dinner and party hats! It was a great day and a wonderful birthday ☺.
Thanks for listening!
