“Trip Of A Lifetime!”

They spoiled us the whole trip with lovely places and tasty food (we wished vegetarian and it was very delicious!). When we spotted an elephant they brought us to the land so that we could approach on foot. We loved this trip so much, it is an unforgettable trip and a must to do in Zambia!
