Johannesburg Airport backpackers hostel. 2002: John with my Nissan truck from Avis, which we used driving to Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and back to South Africa. I'd recommned this, it was a good adventure, excpet for running out of gas in Zimbabwe with none available. A good natured couple on their way to Durban, gave us a 5 gal can of gas which just got us back to the border of South Africa.

I don't have any photos of the jet boat run through the gorge upto the falls, because the little point&shoot 35mm got swamped in water.... and ruined the film. These guys were all from NZ as were their boats, it was a great ride. The one impressive thing was the walk down into the gorge and the walk back up. John and I were just struggling in the heat on the way up, while their Zambian service crew just ran up past us carrying fuel can and quickly disappeared up the trail. 2002JohannesburgSouth AfricaVictoria fallsBotswanaZimbabweZambiaKruger Park
