Victoria Falls (or climbs)

If anyone is reading this and planning to visit Vic Falls any time soon; please take my advice and stay at Lokathula Lodge (part of Vic Falls Safari Lodge). Very good value and well designed self-catering thatched units away from the tourist mess of the town. The Zambezi was extremely full, which sadly made rafting impossible, but gave us a really full on waterfall experience.Standing overlooking the highest drop of about 100m was like being in torrential rain. Serious spray that was climbing at least 50m above us. We decided to be a bit adventurous and signed up for a full day canoe safari on the Upper Zambezi. This took us from about 26km up river of the Falls and finished, quite fortunately, about 5km from certain death. Lots of hippos and elephants along the way which was quite exciting, but the sight of a massive croc sliding into the water next to us really got the hearts going. Carol flew back to Joburg from Livingstone (in Zambia) but before that she organised to fly over the falls in a microlight. Brilliant!
