Zimbabwe

One more border is crossed, and here we are in Zimbabwe, along the Zambezi river, close to Victoria Falls. During a cruise on the river, we get a chance to see Mister and Madam Elephant have a good time (they usually do it in the water because it helps relieving the weight).

 

The falls are listed as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world. While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, Victoria Falls is classified as the largest, based on its combined width of 1,708 metres and height of 108 metres, resulting in the world's largest sheet of falling water. Victoria Falls is roughly twice the height of North America's Niagara Falls. In height and width Victoria Falls is rivalled only by Argentina and Brazil's Iguazu Falls.

 

Nowadays, the local currency is indexed on the US dollar but a few years ago inflation was raging, and prices reached such a level that you can still find 5 or 10 billion dollars bank notes.

After a last attack by mongooses and vervets, it is time to fly back home. Those 3 weeks flew as fast as a finger snap, but this is a trip none of us will forget. Thank you to my comrades for making me laugh so hard that my abs hurt most of the evenings, take care!
