The Victoria Falls – amazing however they are viewed




The main reason for including Zambia on this trip has been to see the Victoria Falls. You can fly over the Falls in a helicopter or for an adrenaline rush a microlite flight. On the helicopter trip you see the Fall from all angles and as long as your camera has a good zoom, you can capture some good pictures. At a $130 per head for 15 minutes, this is an expensive trip, but the experience makes it worth it in my view.

On foot the experience is almost as awesome. An opportunity to experience bits of the Falls close up. At the moment the Falls are very full so there is a lot of spray and in certain parts on the ground you just get drenched. It is possible to get good views and keep dry though.

You can also take a steam train, but were told that it is more of a fine dining and train enthusiasts experience than a getting a good view of the falls experience. With so many things to do in Livingstone and in just a few days, I think we’ll give the train a miss.
