Flo's Entry: We woke up for breakfast at 8.30am and we left at 9am to go to the churches. The first one was not what I was expecting at all; we were greeted by a group of women and small children singing their local call and response songs. This experience made my face hurt because I couldn't stop smiling. The whole scene was unreal and something I would never be able to experience again. When we sat in the church, there was a whole range of aged children. They were so adorable and they kept waving back at us. We were invited to join in and dance to their songs. This made me realise how lucky I am to be on this trip as I can imagine that if I didn't come, I would have seriously bad FOMO (fear of missing out). Then we drove to the next location.

Izzy: Hi everyone, today we completed our last full day in Zambia where we had an amazing day! We woke up for a tasty breakfast at 7:30am before heading out and jumping straight into our safari trucks! We drove to Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park where we began our safari. We spotted several young giraffes, lots of Impala and caught a glimpse of an elephant. We were told we were unable to see the white rhinos as there were to many elephants around which made it dangerous so we headed back to the hotel, which was very sad as Mr Horrod had said in all the years that he has been coming, that had never happened. We were then surprised by being rushed back to the park to see the white rhinos as it was then safe to do so! James managed to get in touch with the company and they agreed to take us back! We got really close to the rhinos and it was such a cool experience to see them up close and in person! We then went to a local village where a team of us played a game of tag rugby again...
Great choice of warm weather training location. Everyone's ready for Zambia now where it's currently 10 degrees cooler :-)
