After leaving Elephant Sands, we boarded this truck to take us over the border to Zambia. Another stamp for the passport! We would spend the next two days camping on the Zambezi river and canoeing down it.

A local tribe came to our camp one night to sing and dance for us.

We went to a small village near Binga. These people had been displaced when the Lake Kariba Dam was built. They believe that Nyaminyami , the Zambezi river god, helped them in their fight against the dam. We ate the staple of their diet, a very bland porridge. Here, a young Binga man relaxes next to the hut he calls home.

A Binga woman shows us how she separates the grain to make the porridge.
