Up early this morning to go on a lion walk, picked up at 6.30am for the 20 minute drive to Thorntree Lodge. We walked for around an hour with two 11 month old cubs. It was great to watch them fighting and playing with each other. They were very playful and spent the whole time chasing each other or climbing trees! This was a great way to spend a morning and really nice to know that by doing this we were helping with the conservation of the lion.

After arriving back at the hotel we headed off to the curio market and to see the Victoria Falls. One of the good things about staying at either the Royal Livingstone or the Zambezi Sun is that you don’t need to pay the USD10 entrance fee to see the falls. They were very impressive although only flowing at around 7% of the flow at the end of the rainy season, would love to go back and see the difference!

The afternoon was spent reading a book at the pool, life is great! After another stunning sunset we enjoyed dinner in the restaurant at the Royal Livingstone. The food and service was amazing and at USD80 for dinner and drinks for two it wasn’t a bad price for such an amazing meal.
