Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls is amazing. It goes for kilometres – it’s the worlds’s largest waterfall, going on volume of water. I think Niagara may be longer, and Angel Falls is higher. You can see the spray for kilometres, we saw it from the plane, rising up about 100 metres above the falls. Helicopters overhead with joy flights all day, it sounds like “Apocalyspe Now”. Livingstone called it "The smoke that thunders", it sounds like constant loud traffic.

Highlights:

1.       Viewing the falls from both the Zimbabwe side and the Zambia side, and walking down into the gorge through the jungle. A border crossing on foot was interesting.

2.       Canoeing on the Zambezi and seeing hippos and crocs – from a respectful distance. Also, shared our picnic spot with a black mamba!

More later - out of time now!
