Incidentally, the hotel where Ilyumzhinov stayed is located at National Park, where many animals peacefully roam along the houses where guests live without paying any attention to them.
On June 8, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov arrived in Livingston where the zonal chess championship takes place. Whilst on the way, FIDE President made a stop at the Johannesburg airport. Ilyumzhinov met with FIDE Continental President for Africa and African Chess Federation Lewis Nkube, who accompanied the guest to the famous Victoria Falls ("The Smoke That Thunders") at Livingston.
