Victoria Falls

Mosi-Oa-Tunya. In a previous post, I mentioned that Mosi was the name of the beer brewed in Zambia. While this is true, it is, more appropriately, the local name (in Tonga) for Victoria Falls meaning "Smoke that Thunders" because of the loud sound and tremendous amount of mist created by the falls. A truly amazing sight. This picture does not do the falls justice as they are much larger and more dramatic in person.

Here is a vervet monkey that decided to keep an eye on my Land Rover while we visited the falls.

We also took a Sunset Cruise on the Zambezi River, also referred to as the "Booze Cruise" for obvious reasons.

Victoria Falls is located in Livingstone, about 475 km (roughly 300 miles) southwest of Lusaka. The trip takes 5+ hours to drive with 5 small towns in between. The majority of the drive is a 2 lane road that is often, and unexpectedly, blocked.

Other reasons the road may be blocked are because Cows frequently cross.

Like these.
