Arriving in Livingstone, Zambia we had reached my most anticipted phase of the trip: to walk in the footsteps of Dr. David Livingstone, who became the first European to see Victoria Falls on November 16, 1855 and named them after his queen.

"Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in flight," Livingstone wrote in his journal. As the waters of the Zambezi River plunge over the 1700 meter wide and 100 meter deep chasm (twice the height of Niagara Falls, and one and one-half times as wide) they create a huge shower of spray and a deafening noise. Bring your rain coat.
We stayed at the Zambezi Sun on the banks of the Zambezi River with baboons gamboling on the grounds within walking distance of the Falls.
Chief Mukuni's Village near the Falls is a working village founded over 700 years ago. It is home to about 7000 Leya people.
