Dawn or dusk works best . Lived in Livingstone for a year in the 1950's , just seven miles away . In addition to the fabulous Falls don't forget the bridge that crosses the gorge .... an amazing feat of construction in the 1890's. The railroad arrived at the gorge , a rocket carrying string was fired to the opposite side . The string became rope and then chain etc. Eventually rails were transported across the gorge and were laid on the other side . Then a train was disassembled , swung across the gorge , and reassembled on the other side ....and so it went on !

I would buy the "perfect weather and light" option.


I'm a farmer, if I could buy perfect weather I'd have retired long ago.

Yahoo! Leave one week from today for our safari - Victoria Falls, Chobe River, Chobe National Park, Okavango Delta and Moremi Reserve in Botswana, then Cape Town.

Did that trip in Nov '06. I rode in a ultra light with no side windows, the piolet and me. Well strapped in but was able to lean outside the windshield and click away with little Panasonic DMC F27 camera. This is a ground pix in the afternoon. The falls drop into a narrow canyon, pick your time carefully. The other also shows the road between countries. There was a bungee jump station on the bridge!

Bonisair Helicopters. We specified using the Robinson 44 since it seats 3 + pilot so everyone has a window seat. We flew in one of those in Hawaii and loved it. It's powered by a Lycoming engine.

Thank you!
