Livingstone

Livingstone, at least where we stayed, is very much an activity centre for tourists. However it was a good opportunity to do activities such a white water rafting in the Zambezi River, helicopter ride over the falls, river cruising and even some golf. I decided not to do the bungee jump on this occasion!!!

Victoria Falls

Vic Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The water falls are 1,708 metres wide and drop to 107 metres into the Batoka gorge. On average 550,000 cubic metres of water cascade over the falls every minute. Although it is impressive, due to the amount of spray created by the falls it is very difficult to get a comprehensive view from the Zambian side and it is meant to be better from Zimbabwe (a trip to Zimbabwe was not advisable at the time).
