Rooms at the A'Zambezi River Lodge. Formerly a Mercure Hotel, now owned by the Rainbow Group.
Zambezi Bar at the A'Zambezi River Lodge.
Zambezi River lined with cruise boats.
Katy and BabaShingi watching the sun set over the Zambezi River.
Sunset on the Zambezi River.
Lots of sunset watchers on big boats.
Rainbow near Devil's Cataract of Victoria Falls.
Devil's Cataract with mist.
Clear shot of Devil's Cataract. So called because if you go over this cataract and to the bottom, you will go to the devil.
Another view of Devil's Cataract. It is 70 meters from top to bottom.
The Main Falls from across the river. We saw more of the falls past this, but could take no more photos because the showers from the falls were too heavy to bring out cameras! So, no shots of Rainbow Falls or Eastern Cataract.
Rainbow at Victoria Falls Bridge.
Victoria Falls Bridge, completed in 1905. The border posts for Zimbabwe and Zambia are here.
A 1,005 year old baobab tree. The fence is there to protect it from further grafitti.
The mist from Mosi Oa Tunya, or Victoria Falls, from a few kilometres away. It can sometimes be seen from up to 50K away!
Approaching the falls from a helicopter.
Mosi Oa Tunya. Devil's Cataract is at the bottom of the picture. Cataract Island is next to it, and Livingstone Island is in the center.
Dead on view of Mosi Oa Tunya, with Victoria Falls Bridge in the foreground.
From right to left: the Zambezi, the falls, the Victoria Falls bridge, and the gorges.
Long view of the gorges.
The Zambezi River above the falls.
The helicopter that I shared with 3 Chinese tourists.
Victoria Falls Hotel wishes you to go not slow, but DEAD SLOW.
Security guard at my hotel tries to chase away vervet monkeys with a slingshot.
Vervet monkey waits in a tree for his chance to steal some sugar packets or breakfast food.
Vervet monkey sees his chance and runs to a table to steal.
Hotel groundskeepers raking leaves with traditional brooms made of tree branches. Only the long handles are not traditional.
The brooms are surprisingly effective.

Hey Kati. Sounds like the trip of a lifetime! Great pictures! Jay Morgan
Wow! Pretty spectacolor, I must say. How do they know the age of the baobab tree that precisely? Imean, wouldn't you have to cut it open and count its rings to get that info? And wouldn't that be more deleterious to its health than graffiti?
Dang good question, UF, and one I didn't think to ask until after I'd left Solomon!
