Cruising Zambezi and leaving Africa

That same afternoon after lunch and a couple of relaxing hours we left with two speed boats for Zambezi river cruise. Very soon our guide spotted a group of big African elephants. We drove slowly near the the river bank to look and to make photos of those great animals. Suddenly we could hear a strong noise from the bushes, and a huge old masculin leader of the herd came trough to our sight, cutting the trees maybe just 20 meters away. He did not care of us, and ate peacefully the leaves of the trees. We then continued with full speed up and down the river with a series of 2 grade rapids, seeing some more elephants and funny looking old steam boats like "African Queen". Those ships were on their daily sunset cuises. We as well enjoyed the fantastic sunset before returning to our lodge to have some cocktails and delicious dinner. Later we still sat in the beach bar at two log fires until midnight Next morning we left for two and half hours safari before heading to the airport. We wanted to see some rhinos, but then we were informed that they were some miles away in the bush and the jeeps couldn't get there. We were too lazy or too exhausted and decided not to try to walk there. Then our visit at Sussi and Chuma Lodge was finished but with beautiful memories. I can recommend to anybody this gorgeous place, its very friendly people and the total character of this part of Africa. During that afternoon we had a nice flight to Johannesburg, where we spent the evening with great dinner, and the night in luxurious five star " THe Westcliff Hotel" overlooking the city. Next afternoon after a flight from Johannesburg and our great adventure, we arrived Walvis Bay in Namibia, where we boarded m/v Arcadia again to continue the cruise.
