Victoria Falls Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

On Tuesday the rest of our group returned from the tour of the Okavango Delta. That afternoon we went out to the Maun airport to go on our 45 minute scenic flight over the delta. 6 of us including our pilot crammed into the small plane and within no time we were speeding down the runway. We were flying at 500feet and 200km/h. For the first few m...

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe used to be a bustling tourist town that attracted people from all over to view one of the 8 World Wonders. However, now it is fairly empty.

We then met our three lions for the morning ...

So we compromised - we decided to go for one day only and to spend the minimum amo...

Today I did the flight over Vic Falls in an ultralite - it's like a small plane, with no doors, and a lawnmover engine over your head. We flew about 900 feet over the falls, it was amazing - the wind blew our little plane all over the place - which added to the enjoyment and fear :-)
