This is the daily blog from Africa4Adventure.com, in particular a short series on the Botswana and Zimbabwe - Giraffe tour we attended during July 2011. Check out the
plans and route for the trip here.
More South and
Southern African motor cycle tours on our list of tour route summaries are available, where we explore these sorts of
motorcycle tour routes. Just choose one of our
events and
reserve yourself a place on one of the future motorcycle adventure safari events.

Who's idea was it to get up at 5am after going to bed at 2am? Oh yes, we planned this over lunch the day before. So amazingly everyone made it onto the bus and down to the heliport, some still pickled, others rather hungover. But this was going to be no ordinary day for most of us. We start off with a helicopter ride over the falls and then off to do a bungi jump off the Vic Falls 101m bridge into the gorge. We were about to see from the air, just how high this would be. After all that, a nice motobike ride down to Bulawayo some 400km away.
