Victoria Falls: dry season vs. rainy season

We have been privileged to have visited Victoria Falls, Zambia side, twice since we've moved here.  The first time was at the end of October: about the driest it gets.  And the second time... today!  Mid-April: about the wettest it gets as the rains are ending now.  So - here you go!  And I'd recommend visiting sometime in between if you ever want to go! :)  It's amazing though - so go see this wonder of the world!  Also called: Mosi-oa-Tunya (the smoke that Thunders).  Yesterday we could see the mist of the falls about 20kms away - as we were heading into Livingstone!  And it does Thunder!

Some things never change.....


Baboons everywhere!

And to think - back in October I forgot to take my camera to Victoria Falls!  All dry season photos were taken on my iPhone.  I remembered the camera the second time!
