We crossed the land border close to Kasane in Botswana and entered Zimbabwe, arriving at Victoria Falls.

Victoria Falls is known locally as Mosi-Oa-Tyuna meaning ‘The Smoke that Thunders.

The falls were known of for centuries but were more recently named by David Livingstone in 1855, after Queen Victoria.

We visited in March with the falls in full flow, it is said you can see the water plume from 40km away.

It is an extraordinary site, the highest drop is 108 mtrs and the falls run for nearly 2km!

There are 16 view points along the Zimbabwe side. It starts with a clear and dry view but shortly after that it is like standing in a very heavy tropical rain storm inside a cloud.

We got completely soaked!

Below is the Victoria Falls bridge, it spans the Zambezi river and is considered no-mans land between Zimbabwe and Zambia.

The bridge was conceived by Cecil Rhodes with a desire to spray the passing trains with water as they passed by.

Once we had finally dried off we set off for some evening entertainment at the Boma Show.

A cultural evening with plenty of food and an interactive African drumming experience which was great fun!

We opted out of the ‘Eat a Mobane worm’ experience, you might be braver than we were!

We head south tomorrow to the capital Harare.
