Two sides of a natural wonder - Part 2

Once we were reunited with Likumbi, the first thing we did was get rid of most of our dripping wet outerwear, such as the rain jackets. However, despite, or maybe because of, our wetness, we decided to see the falls from the Zambian side as well, this time together with Likumbi. So, after paying another 20 USD per person entrance fee to see the falls from Zambia, we headed down into more wetness. We decided to put on our soaking wet rain jackets again, which was very uncomfortable - yuck!

Even though it wasn't possible to see as much (in regards to width) of the falls as from the Zim side, this was equally as impressive. Visibility was still a matter of cherishing the few seconds of clear-ish view that we got to enjoy, but it was great. Did I mention that we were wet on the Zim side? Well, now on the Zam side, all of our intense rain gear completely gave out. They offered absolutely zero protection anymore, and fortunately, because the water that was all around us had a very pleasantly warm temperature, we decided to just enjoy this ridiculous outdoor shower. At this time of the year the falls were carrying 500 million liters of water per minute - on average. Today it was probably more 😅

We got battered by a ton of water, it was literally everywhere. Sometimes it was combined by strong gusts of wind, as if someone pushed up the water pressure by a lot for a few seconds at a time. There was a bridge on the Zam side where this sensation was taken to new extremes. Apart from my phone we had left all electronics in the car. It was at that moment that I was grateful to have invested into a waterproof phone, because otherwise I would not be able to share any audiovisual material from this experience. But the audio is a bit distorted in some of the videos from the water blocking the microphone 😂Leia mais
