Advantages: Breathtaking scenery, and an amazing atmosphere Disadvantages: It can be a bit on the wet side!
I spent 5 days in Livingstone after working in schools in the north of the country for 3 weeks. I went in May, which is considered winter time, buti t was dry and as hot as a good day in the English summer (but very cold at night).
The rainbow from the falls can be seen from the road leading to it, about a mile away, but nothing can prepare you for the sound of the water crashing down! It cost around $10 to go to the falls, but you can pay the equivalent in kwacha.
There are several viewing points where you can see the falls, which are astounding. It can be tricky getting the perfect photo if it is busy, as the viewing areas are quite small, but that is the nature of this beautiful area.They made me feel very humble, and closer to nature-away from our materialistic world.
You can carry on past the falls and walk alongside ...
Advantages: For me, being married to a Zimbabwean Disadvantages: Too many sellers
I took a trip to Zimbabwe back in June 2000 to meet my wife's family for the very first time. During that 3 week visit we decided to take a short flight from harare (about an hour) to stay for 3 days at The Kingdom. Basically this was the 2nd closest hotel to Vic Falls and as my wife was a Zim citizen then we got to stay there for $20US each per night. The usual tourist cost was $120.
The falls themselves are just fantastic and I regret not taking the chance to do the helicopter flight over them. We did however fly over the falls on the way in, so that certainly made up for it.
The falls are located within a park, which at the time of the year we were there, was very quiet. I dont remember the cost to the park, however on the walk down to the park we encountered an elephant standing in the middle of the path. Obviously we ...
Advantages: breathtaking Disadvantages: lack of decent toilets
Into the northwest of Zimbabwe runs the Zambezi River. This great river enters Zimbabwe from Zambia in an astounding manner. It crashes over one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world - VictoriaFalls. David Livingstone was the first outsider to stumble across this incredible nature feature and reported it to the world in 1860, naming it after his Queen - Victoria.
However, the 'natives' had already given it a name - Mosi-oa-Tunya - meaning The Smoke that Thunders. This is a very apt name which they gave it as the roar of the falls can be heard from the town of VictoriaFalls which is situated about 15mins walk away. The spray - or smoke as they described it - can be seen from miles away as the water falls 100m into a deep gorge.
The falls themselves are situated in their own National Park, protecting them from ...
