The famous giant baobab. Beware of the hawkers around.	Gateway to.....	.....The Falls !!!	Livingstone statue.
Upper Zambesi.	Water sprays everywhere, wetting visitors.....	.....and producing rainbows.	Dragonfly.
Lizard.	Devil's cataract.	Main Falls.	Close-up. Very impressing.
Rainbow Falls.	Zambian side.	Over the Zambesi gorge.....	.....goes the road/rail bridge. Due to weight restrictions only one lorry or a couple of cars are allowed on the bridge at the same time.
Or one train.	In the middle of the bridge is the borderline. The bridge itself is no man's land.	Bungi jumping (we ain't) from here.....	.....111 meters down.....
.....into the Zambesi gorge.	The Boiling Pot. Rafting rides start from here, right into rapid #1: 'Against the wall'.	African-size lorries waiting for customs.....	.....inspection. Contraband is a major issue due to high duties on some goods.
Victoria Falls Hotel. Here we booked.....	.....our sightseeing flight.....	.....over the Zambesi & The Falls.	Victoria Falls town, Zimbabwe.
View over The Falls. You can also clearly see the bridge and the border posts on both sides.	An experience of your lifetime.	After The Falls.....	.....the Zambesi continues in its gorge.
15 minutes worth every single cent are over.	Monkey at the Vic Falls Rest Camp.	Rafting on the Zambesi river on 9-11. The pictures are taken from this day's DVD video as our cameras would have gone wet or lost. The adventure starts with a safety briefing.	Hiking down the gorge to the Boiling Pot.
Our guide's name was Potato (no kidding !!!), this is our team riding rapid #1 'against the wall'.....	.....and flipping !!!	We flipped 3x during the entire full-day ride (beating all the other teams ;-) .....	.....but this was big fun, again worth every single cent, and at the end of the day there was a free meal and cold beers awaiting us (after a long and steep climb up the gorge) !!!
