We flew to Zambia today and are staying at a resort named the Zambezi Sun a couple of hundred feet away from Victoria Falls. The weather is much hotter up here but there are a lot of fun things to be done before we head home. We walked over to Zimbabwe just to say we were there and tomorrow we are going to Batswana to visit another game reserve named Chobe that is supposed to be spectacular! We miss the open tents and sleeping out in the game reserves in South Africa but we are excited to experience the beauty of this area of Africa as well. I am excited for a helicopter ride over Vic Falls on Saturday but think that the harness for a bungee jump may be too uncomfortable – we’ll see but Gavin has promised to do it for me in my stead. Tomorrow is my 27th birthday and I feel very fortunate to be celebrating it in a very beautiful and unique area of the world. Thanks all, Levi

Glad that you made it to Zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls are beautiful. Happy early Birthday!
Happy Birthday Levi! We love you and wish you the best day ever! What an amazing experience for you all! My love to all....Greg
Happy Birthday, Levi!! It is awesome that you get to spend it in Africa, living your dream. The helicopter ride over the falls sounds absolutely spectacular. I love water falls, and the pictures of Victoria Falls are BEAUTIFUL!!! What a wonderful sight! You look great, but I can imagine the harness for the bungee jump would probably hit all the wrong places, and really hurt. I am so glad you are enjoying your dream. I love you!
My love to your Mom and Dad, and Gavin, too.
Love ya,
Leanne
I had forgotten that you and our Zach share birthdays. Zach will be 4 tomorrow and we have all the festivities planned. We'll have a piece o' cake in your honor as well.
We're so proud of you and very grateful that you were able to go on this trip. The falls look beautiful and I know you'll have fun - jump or no jump. You look like a movie star standing there by the pool. Like you're waiting for the starlets to arrive and fawn over you. One of the reasons you are my hero.
Take care, and enjoy your trip.
Hi there Snarr's. We are loving the pictures and information. We're off to Moab so we won't be checking in until Sunday. Good luck with your adventures. We miss you guys. Thank Gavin for setting up the blog, it's let us be there with you.
WOW!!!! Those falls are beautiful and that little baby is just about as precious as they come. My mom mentioned today that your b-day is tomorrow. My first thought was that you are where you want to be doing what you want to be doing and with the people you love for your b-day. You lucky guy. I'm sorry that you won't be able to bungee. Can't you do it from your feet? Anyway, I'm glad that there is someone there that will do it for you if you can't. I can't say it enough, you look so happy and good. We love you, and have fun tomorrow.
Sierra, Spencer, CJ and Avary

Oh, and Gavin- You lucky boy! I'm so jealous that you get to do the bungee jump! How stinkin' cool is that? Please be careful, will yah?
Levi,
What a wonderful place to celebrate your 27th birthday...how beautiful! The pictures are exceptionally touching today. Know you are loved and terribly missed. Can't wait to see you in person once again.
Kathy
Happy B-day Levi! Someone should be entering these pics to Time magazine. Don't let Doug and Mike get into too much trouble.

That picture of the falls is AWESOME! So is the one of the mom and the baby. This blog is awesome! Keep up the good work!

Dear Levi
You are amazing! We include you and your partners in our prayers daily. Im not much of a writer, more of a talker, but we want the whole Levi Snarr Safari Party to know that we view the site daily. We appreciate everyones efforts to bring your experience home to us. It is really special to see it while it happens and you are still there. Happy Birthday, I cant think of a better place to have one. I just had a birthday myself and picked up an 11 years sobriety chip at the Haven. I took the liberty of sharing a little about your couragous battle with cancer and your African adventure. After the meeting a resident of the Haven came up with a tear in his eye and asked me to send his love to you and your family. He was a good friend of Zach's. His name is Joe B. Levi, thanks again for all your strength and inspiration. Pure and simply stated, YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! Happy Birthday.
Love, Dave, Ang, Luke and Gracie
PS If I were you I would let Gavin do the bunjee thing!
Dear Ron and Sy,
We would be remiss if we did'nt thank you both for the incredible example of loving parents you are to us. You both are truly the BEST; your children are BLESSED.
Love, Dave and Ang
Happy Birthday Levi,
Wow - 27 great years to celebrate in the perfect place - you are lookin good! Please tell your Mom I think we were together at a class reunion when she was pregnant with you, and she was pretty cute then too:)
Love, Christi
The pictures of your trip so far are indescribably amazing, but I'll bet all of the sounds and smells and everything else that goes along with being there make it that more fantastic. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Glad to see you're not having any fun... Love you guys!!
Mindy, Aaron, Logan and Ashton Gifford
Dear Levi and Safari Group,
I didn't expect to see pictures today but checked anyway. Awesome!! Maybe one day I'll get up the courage to travel somewhere like Africa. The resort part looked like my cup of tea. Any crawling things yet? You haven't mentioned any? Can't wait to talk in person and get the whole scoop. Are you planning a showing of all the pictures when you get home? We could all celebrate a belated Birthday with you. I'm sure it wouldn't compare to the real thing, but it would be great for you to share it with all of us bloggers when you get back. I can't say I'm sorry you probably won't be doing the bungee jump it scares the bungee out of me thinking about it. Tell Gavin to be safe and good luck. HAPPY 27TH BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE SEXY SEMI BALD BLOND MAN, HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
If you plan a party, I'm offering the digs here at Villandrie Lane when you get back okay? Give mom, dad and Trent hugs and have them hug you back for me. Thanks for sharing this great adventure with us.'
LOVE YOU,
Tuckett
Well, let me be the first to actually "sing" you happy b-day. "Happy birthday, to you. Happy birthday to you! Happy BIRTHDAY dear Levi!!!! Happy birthday to yoooooooooooooooooooooooou!!!!!! There is a very loud and painful emphasis on the "birthday" before "dear Levi". I can sing it to you over the phone when you get back...if you want. But you may want to talk to my family first before you make that decision :). Seriously, I hope you have an AWESOME b-day, and I know that you REALLY want to do the bungee jump. I'll pray for you, but I am also VERY gratefuly that you have such an awesome friend in Gavin. As much as I love you, I'm not sure I could do the jump in your stead. As a matter of fact, and 150.9% that I couldn't. You look great and I hope that you live your dream to the fullest. Give my love to one and all. Love ya!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEVI
What a way to spend your Birthday in South Africa no less. Those are great pictures, somebody should be working for National Geographic. You look good, especialy with that awsome smile. You have shown us all how to hold onto the "Rod" with your tremendous strength. You are a great imspiration to us all. Tell your Dad not to temp the natives with that head shot, they might want to make it more permanent on their wall. Speaking of natives see if a tribe will adopt Barbara. Looking forward to more great pictures, we print them all. See you soon. Take care. Love, the four "M's" and one "S"
The pictures of Victoria Falls are breath-taking! We hope you get to make it on the bungee jump, hopefully it will be comfortable enough for you. The helicopter rides sounds like a blast! It sounds like you are living it up every second you are there..just as it should be done! You are giving us the motivation & inspiration to get a trip over there planned. You are such an amazing friend to us and we only wish we were there with you to celebrate your 27th! Happy early Birthday!! Have fun...celebrate, and don't do anything we wouldn't do...hehe
Love Ya
Amb & Jessboy

It sounds like it has been an amazing trip so far. You're mom is taking unbelievable pictures as usual. We're thinking about you.
Al and Lisa Soffe
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEVI!!! Or maybe it's already happened, what with you being on the other side of the world and all ... in that case, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, LEVI!!!! We love you and can't wait to hear about your trip in person.
I vote for the party at Tuckett's, with a monstrous slide show and narration .... Claudia
Happy, Happy Birthday Levi!!!!
what a way to spend the day, we're thinking of all of you. Love, Rebecca and Ken
Happy birthday buddy!
Tyson Hottinger
Happy Birthday Levi - I am sure Gavin was "Honored" to jump in your stead. In fact, if I know him he probably took two or three warm-up jumps just to get the technique right - to get the perfect jump for the "perfect" guy.
Hope your birthday has been the best ever!!! What an awesome place to celebrate it. Love, Sharon
Dear Levi, Ron, Sy, Trent and others:
My good neighboor Ken has let me review all of your letters and pictures. It is amazing to me how far this world has advanced in technologies of this kind. Happy 27th Birthday, and the fact that you are able to fullfil your dream. You can be thankful that you have the great parents that provide you with this opportunity. Enjoy it to the fullest, and we expect a personal report upon your return.
All my love to you, and your family.
Del Fagg
