I arrived in Livingstone yesterday. The immigration procedure took almost as long as the flight! I got a multiple entry visa on arrival so I can enter Zimbabwe today and see the falls from the other side. All the documentation says they accept credit cards at the airport, but it was cash only, so you should bring cash (in US$) if you visit Zambia.
This is one of the views from the Zambia side. You must pay to enter the park, but after that you can explore the trails. You can hike across a little bridge from the mainland to the headland where you will most likely get soaked!
The force of the water is so powerful that when it hits the bottom, it bounces back up in a big chute of spray! It’s quite incredible to see.
After I saw the falls, I walked to the swanky Royal Livingstone Hotel to watch the sunset on the patio.
As you can see, they have a pretty spectacular location right at the top of the falls. They also have a spectacular price for their rooms 🙂 You can walk through their grounds ever if you are not a guest though. As I was walking through I saw 2 giraffes that were eating leaves at the side of the road! They were literally 3 metres away from me.
