On to our final destination – Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world. This time of year, the falls is relatively tame, which we initially thought might make it less than fabulous. But not true – apparently, when you come here during maximum waterflow, you can’t actually see the falls as it’s shrouded in the mist created by the incredible volume of water. The falls originates with the Zambezi River (what Andy calls the Mighty Zambezi!) and makes its way south through several countries out to the Indian Ocean. The best viewing is from the Zimbabwe side, so we had quite an interesting journey traveling from Zambia – where we were staying – to Zimbabwe. It was just a few miles, but took about an hour to go through multiple stops and get our paperwork checked out on both sides. Once there, we had a lovely guide named Sam who walked us along a path on the edge of the gorge, where we could view the falls from multiple locations. It’s loud, it’s wet, it’s majestic.

Our hotel was kind of unique, with zebras and giraffes wandering the grounds freely. We got quite close to them a couple of times!

Now heading home and ready to get back to normal life. Africa is a dream.
