This is the daily blog from Africa4Adventure.com, in particular a short series on the Botswana and Zimbabwe - Giraffe Motorbike tour we attended during July 2011. Check out the original
plans and route for the trip here.
Well what a two days blast we had just been through! A Helicopter flight over the falls, A 101m Bungi jump, A Zambizi river raft booze cruise, an authentic Zimbabwean restaurant lunch and a night on the town. Best fun for a long time!! Now it was time to get back on the bikes and head off to Bulawayo, nursing lack of sleep and a hangover.
We were going to be riding past Hwange National Game Park but unfortunately not enough time left to stop over, which was a shame. But as it was we were packing in a huge amount for only 7 days on the road doing a total of 2500km. We now had about 450km to do before dark and time was fleeting, it was about 11:30 and sun sets at about 17:30.
