Memory of new year 2012

A great day we passed on the eve of the last day of the year 2011 at  Mombasa sea coast, Kenya. I, along with my fellow peers and colleague, had decided to celebrate new year in some year of Africa. After a lot of thoughts, considering the feasibility of our plans, we agreed with the decision of visiting Mombasa, Kenya. The sea shore of Indian ocean is charming and magnificent that we could not resist ourselves not to travel to Kenya. One fine morning, the day was most probably 27 December 2011, having packed our backpacks we commenced our journey to Entebbe, Uganda. From Uganda, by bus we started our for Nairoby, Kenya.

The Hospitality of Zambian People

If someone asks me which thing was the most fascinating and remarkable during my African tour, I, without any hesitation, will cite the hospitality of Zambian people. Though we confronted an obstacle to get visa as the Zambian govt. implemented a new rule just few weeks ago of our tour, however, later we could manage it and got permission to visit Zambia.
After crossing the Congo frontier, we entered Zambia: a peaceful and greenery country of the continent of Africa. We hired a taxi-cab to reach the nearest city for taking a bus for Livingstone city. The taxi driver was very polite and helpful. He had provided us a lot of information about Zambia which later made our journey quite easier in terms of getting hotel, knowing the price and some common customs of the territory. His tips helped us to avoid some unpleasant situations. We could commence an enjoyable journey thanks to an unknown but kind hearted person. It was really a nice starting.

Victoria Falls

It was really a great and long journey. After having passed the vast green lands, we entered Zambia, the country of Victoria Falls, the country of the generous people who are remarkably renowned for their hospitality.

It was almost midday,when we got down from the bus and touched the soil of Livingstone city, the region of Victoria Falls. It's situated in the eastern part of Zambia. The weather was magnificent, very soothing with a moderate temperature. Getting off the bus, we yearned for a safe and friendly accommodation. Thanks to the help of locals, we very soon became capable of finding a calm and quiet hostel: Livingstone Backpackers. With an enormous open-space and a swimming pool, our lodge was presenting itself an attractive location for spending time in full relaxation. In brief, it is a small worldly  heaven for fatigue travelers. Though, the first impression has faded at night when lots of mosquito attacked us and the authority failed to provide us the mosquito-nets. In the middle of the night, we, being horrified of mosquito's sting, came out of the hostel and longed for finding out any shop from where we could buy mosquito-coil or aerosol. Finally we discovered an about-to-close supper mall and bought our highly desired mosquito killer product. We at last could save ourselves from passing a sleep-less night. Later I never forgot to suggest others, who came across to me for tips on traveling Africa in particular Zambia, for carrying aerosol or mosquito-net.
