Somewhere in the middle of Africa flows a river, thunders a waterfall, bathe elephants and hippos in perfect harmony.
Africa is a continent of contrast. Breathtaking views, majestic animals, friendly people and devastating poverty.
Livingstone is a smallish town about 8 km from the Victoria Falls. If it wasn't for the falls nobody would have known of Livingstone's existence.
The Victoria Falls town on the Zimbabwean side of the Victoria falls used to be the preferred location for a visit to Falls. With all the problems Zimbabwe is having visitors are more inclined to go to Livingstone.
Accommodation at the hotels are however very expensive. $300- $500 per night per person. But there is an alternative. If you need a clean place to sleep and don't mind having just the basics Jollyboys backpackers is the place to go. $45 for a double room with ensuite bathroom or $30 for a double room with shared bathroom sounds much better than $500 per night.
Dorm rooms are only $8. The room is just for sleeping as they have a wonderful outside bar and pool area. Drinks and food are very reasonable priced and you don't even have to exchange your money as they take Rands, dollars and Kwacha (local currency). Change is normally in Kwacha.
The Victoria Falls deserves it place as one of the seven wonders of the world. To try and describe the overpowering feeling of magic and beauty than one experience here, is impossible. The best taken photos can't do justice to this awesome sight. Go and see it for yourself.
The Zambezi river is so full at the moment that the spray from the waterfall is so overpowering that you can only view small parts of the falls at a given time. But the spray in itself creates a stunning feeling of power and beauty. In certain areas only the spray is visible with a permanent rainbow, as seen at the bottom of this photo.
