 I walked to Zambia for a day trip and it only cost me 10$US for a one day visa instead of an entry visa of 100$US (expensive$$). You immediatly see the difference in the system here compared to Zimbabwe.

I went and visited the Royal Livingstone Hotel on the Zambezi river which is a posh hotel for the rich with a nice view on the river just upstream from the Victoria Falls (Zambian side).

 I then visited the Victoria Falls / Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park to see the Victoria Falls from the Zambian side. It was nice but the trails are not long and show the parts of the Falls that are dry at this time.

 I however saw the Zambezi river from an interesting perspective. On the way I saw a whole family of baboons that seemed to not care the least that I was there. I observed them for at least 20 min. from approximately 4 meters. The kids played, the teenagers fight, the moms took care of the young ones, and the male just stayed there protecting his harem... and once again some say that we are not related to them...??? 

I returned to the Zimbabwe side and then leaving for Tanzania next... (about time!)

Re: Salut grand guerrier Zulu
Toute qu'une aventure ca c'est certain... et elle tire a sa fin bientot.

J'ai eu la chance de le faire et je l'aprecie. Je pense bien que c'est quand meme a la portee, mais ca n'interesse pas necessairement tout le monde... Un peu de vouloir et du temps et de l'argent en banque... Un petit effort pour l'experience d'une vie!

NON! Pas de 'tourista africaine...'!
