• Victoria Falls Park

    July 11 in Zimbabwe ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    After getting settled in, I headed out and walked to the Victoria Falls Visitor Centre and entrance to the park. Got in about 13:30 and did about half of the viewpoints or a third of the total trail length. All I can say about these falls is WOW! The largest waterfall in the world at over 1700m wide and 100m tall (twice as wide and high as Niagara) and 1 MILLION gallons of water PER SECOND flows over it (vs 700K for Niagara)!

    I started with the viewpoints 2, backtracking to 1, then making it past #8 before taking the trail to the exit as the path was starting to get wet.
    I went across to the craft market across the highway and haggled for a taxi to take me to the 3 Monkeys Restaurant next to my hotel for my main meal

    Walked over 5 miles today and feel very good.

    The next day, I booked the transfer to VFA airport with the driver from my trip from the border and flew SA Airlines to JoBurg. All smooth and on time and the Uber pickup zone was well organized for my transfer into the Holiday Inn Rosebank. Very modern, super convenient and safe location, with good internet and a nice desk to work at.
