Victoria Falls

Finally, the reason I went to Zambia in the first place, Victoria Falls. This place has been called on of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, and I have to agree. The anticipation of seeing it and being able to go stand at the top of the falls was the pinnacle of my trip I could not wait for. I was not disappointed by the experience, and everyone in our group was in awe of the beauty of the falls.


We were able to stand at the very edge of the falls and look down. The amazing thing about the falls is that in two months, the area in the picture above will be bone dry. We were there in perfect time. The falls were not at their fullest, but it was still an amazing place to stand.

The other side of Livingstone Island was the other mile of the falls. We could not even see all of the falls due to the large spray put off by the massive waterfall.

We had to wear rain coats to avoid getting soaked by the spray and had to be barefoot due to the slippery rocks and mud. It was quite a trek around the island. Following the tour of the island and the falls we got to enjoy some tea and afternoon snacks. Another great adventure in Zambia.

Sounds awesome - and I'm sure the pics don't do your experience justice!!! Have you been to Niagra Falls yet? Would love to hear your compare/contrast of the two places...
