Victoria Falls
Our main excursion while in Zimbabwe was to Victoria Falls, up on the northern border with Zambia.
 Despite a long hot journey to get there, and problems with money, food and accomodation, the falls were breathtaking enough to make it worth the trouble. | ||

 just awestruck! |

 Some of us made an early morning visit to the park by the Zambezi river (above) and saw some animals. Fences were being erected to stop people crossing the border here, but it was unclear if this would affect the elephants. We didn't see any near the crossing, which is normally a good place to find them. |
