All of these photos were taken from the Zambian side of the falls, apart from the last two which are from the air, in early August 2013.
There is much debate and argument as to which side is better to view from. The Zambian side is not as forceful, and it dries up in the dry season. Early August was a perfect time to see it from Zambia: plenty of flow but not so much spray that the water and rocks are hidden.
Linked to Frizztext’s VVV Challenge and Alphabe Thursday.














Spectacular photos – took me on a trip down memory lane as we splashed out for my husband’s 30th birthday to stay at the Victoria Falls Hotel (23 years ago!) glad to see this is one of those few places that hasn’t changed that much.

Fortunately, it hasn’t been too damaged by tourism. Though the number of boats on the river may have increased – there were an awful lot of them.

Personally I think the Zimbabwe side has the best view, but then I am slightly biased!

You must! In fact, the river itself is amazing, so scenic and incredible wildlife. Perhaps I’ll feature more when we get to the letter Z!

Went to Niagara Falls a couple years ago. More water volume, but not as high. Still I love ’em all.
