After the safari (see previous post, below), my mother and I made our way to Victoria falls, which were the single most spectacular natural phenomenon I have ever seen. The sheer power of them, the breathtaking force of the water, the menacing cacophony of noise – it’s fucking insane. The water at the falls is at the highest level for 20 years, which amplifies their presence to the almost supernatural.
They are a mile wide and over 100m high, and the spray created by the water falling is so dense that it’s like a perpetual monsoon. Walking across the famous ‘knife edge bridge’ was like trekking through a light thunderstorm, with crazy rainbows at all angles, created by the strong sun shining through the mist. A piece of advice: before you die, see Victoria Falls.
