Years ago (2001) when I did a canoe safari down the lower Zambezi I was technically in Zimbabwe except when I put my foot on the opposite shore.  However, as one who has collected countries now for over 10 years, I am trying to right those wrongs and actually spend at least one night before I add it to my list.

Accommodations, food and overall comfort were quite different this time around.

I didn’t see as much wildlife but stayed close to the resort…and being the wet season the animals didn’t need to come to the river.

Victoria Falls is absolutely amazing and very wet! The thundering sounds and thick mist were breathtaking and I was told by a new friend that one really should take the helicopter ride in order to get a fuller realization of the power and the beauty.
