All of my friends decided to go bungee jumping off of the bridge over victoria falls. This may surprise you but I DID NOT HAVE ANY INTENTION OF JUMPING OFF OF A 400 FOOT BRIDGE WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??!! So I had to find a way to amuse myself that day so I would not feel left out. I was perusing a billboard full of tourist activities and it turned out that for the same cost as 60 seconds of heart-stopping terror one could ride an actual elephant through the bush for an hour. OMG I was on that in a flash. I figured that elephant riding was only going to get more expensive and illegal as time goes on so I took advantage of it while I could.
It was a very well-designed system where one of the other guides took your camera and would act as photographer the whole time, hence the awesome pics.
For the life of him, my guide could not figure out why I kept dramatically pointing and ordering "To the Alps!!!"
Yes, I got to feed the elephants. Most of them would delicately pick up the cookies with the "fingers" on the ends of their trunks but my elephant lost a fight to a lion as a baby (read: tried to steal food out of its cage) and hence is missing about six inches off of the end of its trunk. Instead, it just vacuums up anything in your hand- weirdest feeling ever
