Victora Falls

The end of this leg of overlanding with Kumuka is just about over. We have arrived in Victoria Falls, and have done all the the administration of upgrading rooms, changing money, etc, etc. We are what must qualify as the worst backpacker hostel that I have seen for several years. There is dog-shit all over the place, and three Great Dane cross something and a few cats to contend with.

But there is plenty to do provided you have hard foreign currency. Nothing is cheap, but doing the deal in USD, GBP, ZAR, etc will ensure that you have a good price. Lonely Planet is right about the distinction between the official and unofficial exchange rates. Even with a sixty-five percent discount on the meal at one hotel if you paid in hard currency, the cost was still nearly double what it would cost in ZIM dollars bought on the unofficial market. Those mathematicians amongst you should now be madly calculating what multiplier the unofficial rate was over the official.
