The trip was long and the plane was crowded, but now I am finally in Zambia. Zambia is was very poor but now i is better. It is amazing. There are forests/ jungles and open plains. I had to walk to my hotel that I was staying at. It wasn’t far and I got to enjoy the wildlife. On my walk I saw an elephant walking in the street. It was so cool. It had huge, white tusks. There was another elephant walking along side the elephant. It was a baby, it was so cute.

There was many plants and farming. People were working hard just to get food. Agriculture has been not going well. Thanks to Norway, Zambia has a chance to survive. They gave Zambia tons of money which seems to be helping. People are surviving and are happy which is so happy to see. It gives me hope for Zambia.

It is very hot here and very humid. My hotel isn’t a five star hotel but it is still pretty nice. It has a lot of windows and a fan to get cold air. It has a bed and a bathroom and that’s about it. I over look one of the game reserves. I believe it is the famous walking safari. There were a lot of people walking through the game reserve. It has a lot of animals and even some endangered species, like the rhino.

That night I walked through the safari. I saw a giraffe. I love how tall it is. It hovers over all the animals. It knows everything and it sees everything but it is not strong enough to be a predator.

Tomorrow I am visiting Victoria Falls and I can’t wait. It is going to be fun and I get to get soaked from the falling water. People are allowed to walk near it. Most people don’t because of how much water there is. They say it is like Niagara Falls.

The night was cold and the air was a bit dry. I woke up ready to visit the falls. On the way there I passed some dancers. They were dancing the makishi. It was exciting to watch and they had colorful and bright clothing on. They had feathers on most of their clothing. It looked very ethnic and cultural to me.

I finally arrived at Victoria Falls. The sun was shining and it created prisms of rainbows. It was like skittles were everywhere. Few people were walking next to the falls. The people who did came back with dripping wet clothes. The falls were surrounding me, it felt like I was listening to surround sound television. They were so massive. When it was my turn to go up to the falls I chickened out mostly because of the dangers. A sign read “We are not responsible for loss of blood, headaches, injuries of the spine, and for your death. Continue at your own risk!” This made me very nervous so I chickened out.

I had a great time. Zambia was a wonderful place to visit. I hate to leave after such a short time but this was only a quick trip. I am sure there was so much I wasn’t able to see in Zambia. In the morning, on the way to the airport, I saw a cheetah running in a plain. It was moving so fast I could I could hardly keep my eyes on it.

When I arrived at the airport and I boarded my plane I looked back and waved good bye to Zambia. As the plane flew into the sky I looked below and saw the beautiful country I was leaving to return home to America.
