Victoria Falls

This is rightfully one of the Natural Seven Wonders of the World. It's not the tallest, widest, or highest volume, but when you factor all three of these things, it's without compare. 

Our chosen activities were a trip to Livingstone Island (we saw the falls for the first time the same route David Livingstone did). Unfortunately, Devil's Pool was closed (unsafe due to high flow), but we did sit on the edge. 




The next day, we went on the lion encounter. I expected this to be a super touristy set of super tame lions, but actually it's lion cubs that are being reintroduced into nature so that their kittens can be raised without human contact and then used to reintroduce lions to other parks in Africa. 




That night, we went in a Sunset Cruise (with dinner and unlimited free drinks).


Sunday, we crossed into Zimbabwe and caught the Lunar Rainbow at the falls that night, under a 'Super Moon.'


Tuesday, we went into the park in the day and finally saw the falls in the traditional way. Wow!
