We went there for the Easter Weekend and we booked quite late so we only got the last remaining huts. The comfort was – let’s say – medium comfort, but at a very good price. On the positive side it’s only 8 kms from Itezhi-Tezhi, it has very beautiful gardens and a pool, the food is very good (while I’ll probably never warm up to African-English Breakfast) and the view from the restaurant terrasse is breathtaking.
One day we took a boat trip on Lake Itezhi-Tezhi. Seeing the fabulous nature from the side of the water is always very different then from the land side. And the lake is well known for spectacular sunrises 🙂
Markets in Zambia seem to hold miracles. Sometimes I saw tables full of stuff and didn’t understand anything of what I saw.
We had one of those adventures which are quite good for the memoirs, but less cool while you’re in it.
On our second day in Livingstone we visited the great falls. It is the largest waterfall in the world (not the highest). “Mosi-oa-Tunya” means “the smoke that thunders”. On good days 500 Mio liters of Zambesi water fall down 110 meters per minute.
Consider to walk down to the bottom of the river, which is a very fine jungle walk with great vegetation but unfortunately sometimes not very peaceful baboons. Don’t ever take out something to eat out of your backpack on your way down :-).
We do this since some years now and it became a nice tradition to meet for a weekend in our house on the countryside, pick mushrooms in the forest, have some really good meals and see our best friends who live far away in other cities. Next year for the first time, we will meet in Southern Germany.
I recently wrote a book about facilitation and workshops which was published in September 2023 and I did some shots to promote it. It’s called “Workshops machen – für inspirierte Teams, mehr Kreativität und weniger Blabla” (Sorry, German only for now)
