A ridiculous 4am wake up call and by 4:30 we are saying good by to Ivory Sands and loaded into an open RR for the cold 30 minute drive to the park entrance.
We transfer our bags to the cab for the 1.5 hour drive to Kruger Airport.
We pass through Hazy View (aptly named) and we see some beautiful eucalyptus forests that are farmed for pulp as well as macadamia farms (world's largest producer or these nuts).
We get our bags plastic wrapped for 50 rand/ bag and load up on a South African Airways flight to Joburg. We have a two hour layover and do some shopping in this new terminal that was built for the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
Our British airways flight to Victoria Falls was on time and we are waiting in the typical third world county que for passport control.
We check into our great hotel (the Safari Lodge) and take a sunset Cruise on the Zambezi River. The Zambezi is 2700km long and runs through 4 countries and is the 4th longest in Africa.

Beautiful sunset. Met a couple from England that are teachers in UAE.
Dinner at hotel. Bed at 830.
Nighty night!
