Several hours drive south of Vic falls are the Khami Ruins, just outside Bulawayo. Despite an unplanned drive through the local townships (keep driving, no u-turns, do not stop…), we eventually found them. They are not Angkor Wat, but are important for local history.

Across a very smooth border crossing into Zimbabwe, and into Victoria Falls. Its strange using US dollars. However the people are very friendly, and the Falls are stunning even in the dry season.

At the northern tip of Botswana, the Chobe river acts as a national boundary. Elephants galore on a river cruise.
