After the boat cruise on the Zambezi with our first fabulous sunset, we went to bed the day before feeling tired but exhilarated. Today we want to take a closer look at the spray of the Victoria Falls.
50$ is a hefty price. That’s how much foreigners meanwhile have to pay in order to experience the mighty Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean side – on a 2 km walk from viewpoint to viewpoint. It is a wet and magnificent affair. Especially touching when a rainbow spans across the masses of water beautifully plunging into the depths. Sometimes even several of them.
Thomas, our guide today, is in his element. He tells us how the “Devil’s Cataract” got its name and how David Livingstone succumbed to the charms of Vic Falls as a British explorer in the 19th century.
On the way back to the exit, we pass a small wooden gate. It is just open and we can see a small path leading downhill – probably to the banks of the Zambezi river. We proceed for about 100 metres and suddenly there are lots of bamboos around us. Just bamboos, no buffalo or lions, but they are pushy and interested in our backpacks.
