We slept in waiting for the early birds to return from their morning walk on the Zambian side of the falls, were loaded up and crossing the river in the Zimbabwe by noon.  We settled quickly into our really fine campground a few KMS from the falls.  Our local guide met us right after lunch to brief us on optional activities before set off to visit the falls.

Statue of David Livingstone crediting him with discovery of the falls.  The arrogance of not recognizing the millions of Africans who knew of it for eons really pissed us off.

 The rapids just before the falls.  Noisy and magnificent.

 The rainbows in the mist.  Stunning.

 The beginning of the mile-long curtain of water.  Remarkable.

 Folks in the natural soaking pool at the top of the falls.  Yikes.

 See the soaking pool.  Just plain crazy.

 It is the dry season now...during the wet, the falls drop over this cliff.

 The famous bridge connecting Zambia and Zimbabwe.

 After our tour we returned to camp for our farewell dinner and last night with the group.
