Esher High Zambia and Zimbabwe 2024

 

 Tuesday 30th July 2024  By Juliana Myers  Hello it's Juliana here in Fawlty Towers. Today was our last day in Zambia, I have really enjoyed my time and all the memories I have made. We started off our day with a delicious breakfast of toast, eggs, beans and sausages. Then headed off to the place where we began our Safari, we were put into groups of 7 and 8 and set off in our Safari Trucks. Although it was pretty cold, it was one of the best experiences of my life. We saw Elephants, Giraffes, Monkeys, Hippos and Gazelles, just to name a few, it was incredible. But best of all we saw the last few White Rhinos left in Zambia. We paused for a quick stop for our Fanta and rusks whilst watching out for Crocodiles in the Zambezi River. Then hoped back on our trucks for a quick windy ride back to the hotel.  We had a late lunch at a Café called Zest. I had Margarita Pizza, which I really enjoyed. Then came back for free time which I went to the shops and swimming pool....

 Megan Evans Hello everyone! It's Megan Evans here and I'm here to fill you in on what we did today. But first I have to say what an amazing trip we have had so far! From the gorgeous sunsets, seeing lots and lots of giraffes and extremely sugary Fanta's, Zambia is truly incredible! So, this morning we had a cracking lie in with breakfast at 8, which consisted of toast, basked beans, scrambled egg and sausages. Then watched some Olympic in the bar before hopping on the mini bus to Victoria Falls! Before we had even got off the mini buses, we saw a group of baboons - you wouldn't get that in Esher! Then we started our trek into the Zambian jungle down to the falls. It was picturesque scenery the whole way down and when we got to the rocks at the bottom we could see the waterfall in all it's glory. One of the seven natural wonders of the world before our very own eyes. We watched some very brave bungee jumpers and took lots of pics. Then made our way back up and did a...

 Sunday 28th July  By Jess Collier  Today was a lovely relaxed day. We had a calm start with a delicious breakfast at 8am. We gathered our Kwacha and headed off to the market to all buy the exact same thing ( Tiki Heads). We split into pairs and all had a go at bargaining our way into cheaper prices. I walked out satisfied with my purchases such as my matching earrings with Elodie and then headed back for lunch from the supermarket opposite. My friends and I spent a sunny few hours in and out of the pool.  At two we ventured to Makuni Village to take part in traditions when we visited the town palace, such as kneeling and clapping when entering and leaving the room. In the room there was a shrine consisting of elephant tusks and paintings of Lions. In addition we met the Prime Minister of the area. After a small walk and a short visit to another market we surprised the local Rugby team with many donations and Rugby training kit from Ram Rugby. It warmed my heart when...

 

 Saturday 27th July 2024 By Arthur Bateman  First night back in Zambia after coming back from Zimbabwe. The accommodation is called Fawlty Towers (Yes, it is named after the TV show) and it is epic! Breakfast was a full fry up of eggs, beans, sausages and tomatoes, which was delicious. Then we made our way to our last tournament. However, one of the buses ferrying the children to the tournament crashed. Luckily only the driver was onboard as it was returning and he was safe. This meant the tournament was only an hour and a half long. However, we still had lots of fun and I made friends with all the children from the Jesus Christ Community Club.  After the tournament we returned to Fawlty Towers and chilled by the pool. I shared a Pizza for lunch, and then at 3pm we got on the minibuses to the river cruise. The boat was amazing. From huge Crocodiles and Hippos (don't fall in) to Elephants and arguably the greatest sunset I have ever seen. Honestly in describable with words...
