🦏 Front row seats to the wild… where nature writes the rules.
We flew into Victoria Falls and stayed at the beautiful Old Drift Lodge, where we had the most incredible glamping experience🏕️We did eight game drives, including two on the Zambezi River, and got to watch hippos, crocodiles, and even elephants swimming across the water. Seeing these animals in their natural habitat was absolutely unforgettable.
My personal favorite was the rhinoceros. Because poaching has become such a serious problem, conservationists will often dart the rhinos, safely remove their horns, and let them wake up and go free. Since poachers are after the horn, this helps save the animal’s life. The black rhino is especially at risk and is sadly close to extinction. To protect them, Africa has a law that poachers can be killed on site🫤
This part of the trip was such a powerful reminder of how beautiful, wild, and fragile these animals and their environment really are. There are a lot of national reserves and private reserves to protect this amazing part of our continent. I feel so grateful we got to witness it all up close. 🌍🐘🦛🐊🦏
