Today we packed up camp once again and continued to the third and final country of our expedition: Zimbabwe.
Border crossings are always part of these adventures, and with nearly sixty participants and all our support vehicles, they inevitably take a little time. Thankfully everything went smoothly, and before long we were driving the short distance to Victoria Falls, where we will spend the next few days.
The afternoon was intentionally kept fairly relaxed, giving everyone a chance to settle into the campsite, explore the town or simply enjoy a slower pace after so many kilometres on the road. At the same time, preparations continued behind the scenes for what we all hope will be the highlight of the expedition. Flying over Victoria Falls requires approvals from several different authorities, and although we have been working on the permits for months, there are still a few important details to resolve.
For now, all we can do is stay optimistic. The balloons are on their way, the team is ready, and one of the world’s greatest natural wonders is just a few minutes away. Hopefully tomorrow will bring good news.
