Having (finally) reached Livingstone, off we headed to Chundukwa River Lodge, our home for the next couple of nights. Thanks to BA there was no time for siesta: straight into the boat for an evening cruise.
Rivers are typically calming, and the Zambezi proved no exception. We cruised along in the warm afternoon air, sneaking up on pods of hippos and watching enrapt as they went about their hippo-ish ways (submerging, blowing spouts of water and, of course, "the open the mouth").
As the sun turned from a rosy pink to a classic African red orb we also spotted a juvenile croc, baboons, a bush buck, multicoloured birds nesting in the riverbank itself, and more hippos (yay! Everyone loves hippos).
As the strong Zambezi current pulled us back to the lodge we sipped our G&T (it being Friday) and contentedly contemplated the adventures yet to come.
