We took a three hour flight from Cape Town to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and arrived at the Ursula Homestead Lodge. Built many years ago as a private hunting camp it was named after the wife of the owner, Ursula. Later it was transformed into a lodge for visitors to enjoy the game preserve and get close to the animals, instead of hunting them. There are only 4 rooms and today we were the only guests!
There is a wide ravine in front of the property and a watering hole which attracts animals.
A giraffe appeared as we were checking in to lodge.
He has been back to visit since then.
We’ve seen many impala go by the lodge as well.
And there is a resident troop of about 30 baboons…which we think is led by this alpha male.
The parade of animals makes for a very enjoyable morning coffee experience!
