...hotel enough to rival Africa's most famous spectacle. It succeeds in cherry-picking the best bits (Victorian exploring parasols, butlers and leather luggage) and cutting out the worst (sweat, danger, warm drinks). Each of the 173 rooms has a balcony with an uninterrupted view of the Zambezi River and the tumbling mist beyond; the main building is a series of serene, thatched atria, more reminiscent of Bali than the bush; and there are friendly zebras in the gardens.

Priority number one is bringing home the gold, but the crew wouldn’t mind an A- as well. “Having the past weekend off was important,” said senior heavyweight captain Katie Gold. “You’re balancing training and preparing for Sprints while...
Brown looks like it will indeed be Harvard’s main competitor for the overall title, with its only dual race loss this season coming from the Crimson on a very rough Charles River. On a calmer day, on water that is less familiar to both teams, it’s all to play for the Bears...
