We'd seen the Victoria falls in Zambia and were absolutely in love with them, we were in South Africa last year in February which semed to be the most amazing time to go the falls, they were full and roaring and we stayed in the Zambiezi Sun Hotel (spell?) & sunbathed while Zebra walked through the grounds, the hotel is right on the entrance to the falls, grab you shorts, ditch the camera and head to the Smoke that thunders, we also took a speed boat ride in the rapids below the falls and a boat ride above the falls and saw hippos basking in the water amazing.
It was amazing I cannot begin to tell you what a fab holiday and one I will recommend for years to come, I can't wait to go back.
I can't seem to upload my SA photo's & they don't do it justice as it was so wet you couldn't take your camera really...you could get right alongside the falls so you felt like you were right in them, and by the end of the walk you were completely wet whether you were wearing a yellow pack a mac or not.
Now when we arrived at the falls in Niagara (US side) I was shocked, are they smaller than the ones in south africa? or is it that its so built up around it, it just feels different, maybe its because you can't get within it, or that its more commercialised, proper car parks, paths, walkways, whereas in Victoria there's definate heath and safety issues!
I don't know but as I've now seen them both I think the Victoria falls are so much more amazing (I'll try & post the SA photo's in another post)
I'm still going to go back and try the boat ride as I want to be amazed by these falls, will keep you posted.
Don't get me wrong they are still a sight to see have a look for yourself:
