| Vic Falls from the air - The Zambia/Zimbabwe border |
Due to the effects of cyclone Freddy which has already dumped rain on Zambia and on its way back after gathering strength off the coast, the Zambian leg saw us bypassing South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi, both of which were flooded, and heading straight to Livingstone to check out Victoria Falls.
 |
| The Falls are full of water at this time of year |
While we have experienced Vic Falls from the Zim side, this was the perfect opportunity to give the Zambian side a go and it proved to be spectacular with the waterfall full of water, and even with a raincoat you will definitely be soaked!
 |
| Don't miss the sundowners on the Zambezi |
Vic Falls ranks one of 7 natural wonders of the world and it's best to get in the air to appreciate its full beauty. Given all the rain around, the river was flowing bank to bank resulting in a spectacular large waterfall.

| The new 1 stop border crossing between Malawi and Zambia |
Border crossings with your own car can get hairy but as we arrived at the Botswana - Zambia border, the expectation was the worse was behind us which is what is proved to be. No more wild haggling with money changes and touts claiming to assist you as everything is electronic and cards are accepted.

| On the banks of the Zambezi - you have been warned! |
The last time we crossed the Zambezi on our way to Tanzania it was on a pontoon and rather awkward. Now there is a swanky bridge across the Zambezi and we entered what was the sleepy village of Kazungula to find a sprawling shopping center with chain stores. Things have certainly moved on from the time we left Kazungula in 2010 heading to East Africa.
