Wonderful Kariba Houseboat holiday

by Linda

Hi Boo,

We had the MOST fabulous holiday at Vic Falls and cruising on lake Kariba. It was a magical and unforgettable experience for all of us.
All the arrangements went smoothly, and many thanks to you for arranging it all. The Victoria Falls Safari Lodge is undergoing renovations at present, so they were not able to accommodate us at the Lodge itself, but we were transferred to the Safari Club, which was very luxurious and being smaller, was very peaceful. Excellent attention and friendliness from all the staff, which seems to be a natural Zimbabwean virtue.

Our cruise on the Catalina was in every way superb!
Sheer luxury catamaran with enormous cabins, each with two double beds, and wonderful ensuite bathrooms. The Catalina crew of 5 catered to all our needs and cooked us meals to dream of. But the best part, for me, was the peace and beauty. The weather was perfect all the time and as you will know, sunsets over Kariba are pure magic. We had happy times of joking together, sharing memories, and just being ourselves. If only we could get into a time capsule and do it all over again!

I now have a zillion photos to sort and edit, and hope to put some on a DVD in an animated slide show. Should keep me busy for quite a while. The snapshots that I attach, are just by way of a token of proof that we were there.

Apologies for the delay in giving you an update on our trip - we sadly arrived home.to a series of unfortunate news, and I have been kept otherwise occupied in general family support.
But the memories of our very special re-union will stay with us for an eternity, I;m sure.


Thank you again for your truly efficient and friendly help it making it all happen so effortlessly!
very best wishes to you both,
Linda
