2001 Africa Total Solar Eclipse
The 2001 Africa Eclipse-Safari
In June 2001, TravelQuest took us on a trip to Zambia to see the eclipse, with additional stops in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. We viewed the 3m 32s eclipse from Chisamba Safari Camp in Zambia. Later we toured Victoria Falls and went to three safari camps in Bostwana.
