An #amazing #flight by #Ultralite one #sunny evening just before #sunset over #VictoriaFalls – wish I’d stayed up in the #air longer! Just stunningly #beautiful. #Zambia is #amazing. There were #rainbows over the falls that the #GoPro didn’t pick up, and I could see #elephants, #hippos & #giraffes in the #safari national park. #Instagram #instagood #picoftheday #travel #adventure #photo #photography #followus #aroundtheworld #flight #intheair #love #waterfalls #wonderoftheworld #mustvisit #takemeback
