Zimbabwe

I crossed the border into Zimbabwe today to have a look at Victoria Falls from the other side. You may have noticed in my post a couple days ago about Victoria Falls from the Zambia side that I didn't exactly "gush" about the Falls and only included one photo. That's because at low water, that side isn't too impressive. The Zimbabwe side, however, is quite spectacular. It might even be best to see it in low water because at a high flow you probably wouldn't see anything but mist. Even at low water the main falls is difficult to see through all the mist rising from the gorge. In this case, Zim beats Zam hands down.
