Victoria Falls is Southern Africa's land locked natural water wonder.
The first European to see this marvel was David Livingstone.
The intrepid Scots missionary and explorer waxed lyrically about 'scenes so lovely they must have been gazed upon by Angels in their flight', so he must have been really impressed.
Not like me the first time I visited Vic Falls in 2004 ...
It was in the midst of a harsh drought and the Zambian side of the Falls were bone dry.
My husband who is an ex Zambian wanted to show me his childhood stomping ground.
I was jaw droppingly unimpressed with the trickle of water and huge black basalt rocks and I think my reaction really ruined his 'big reveal' moment.
I have gone back many, many times since then and our travel business has centered around this marvel.
Note the change in attitude can you? I have come to love this waterfall as passionately as the Cape Townians love their rock feature.
Victoria Falls is a lady of many moods, in times of high water, March to April, she rages.
Full to the brim, the water pounds the rocks below the Falls creating a mist so dense that you cannot even see her face.
Guests visiting the rainforest at Victoria Falls need all the water proofing they have muster if they want to stay dry.
It's only from the air that you get a complete picture of this natural wonder.
Zambezi water levels start dropping from June and by September the Zambian side of the Falls can be a mere trickle, reducing to almost nothing in December.
The flip side to low water levels is that it makes for excellent conditions for white river rafting and it has to be said the Zambezi River offers the best commercial white river rafting in Southern Africa.
If you go to the Falls and you are able bodied enough, it simply has to be done.
The force of the water is something to be behold and enjoyed.
The Zimbabwe side of the Falls nearly always has water flowing over the lip.
Poor Zambia, they got a raw topography deal on their side of Vic Falls - or maybe it's the Zambian hydro electric plant that reduces their water levels? Be that as it may, if you want to see sufficiently impressive amounts of water pouring over the edge of Victoria Falls between September and December, then view it from the Zimbabwe side.
