Seeing Zimbabwe in the Zimbabwean way: Victoria Falls
Thursday, December 24, 2009 8:47If you have seen the post cards, holiday snaps, film footage or documentaries on the Seven Wonders of the World, and you are curious to visit the living unbelievable master piece, it’s your chance to be fortunate enough and stand beside the natural wonder “The Victoria Falls”. By simply, getting to Zimbabwe as there are plenty of cheap flights to Zimbabwe especially with the flagship carrier.
Here, let me clarify, the attraction of the gigantic “Victoria Falls” must not be confused with the town “Victoria Falls” adjacent to the western portion of Zimbabwe across the border of Livingstone, Zambia and near Botswana. This legendary tourist destination offers both adventure seekers and sightseers ample exuberance and puts the heart and soul in high spirits. The poetic nature-lovers have given it the amusing title “smoke that thunders”. While standing there, looking at the magnificent and enigmatic amalgam of beauty, passion and power, its only than when the words seem to get life, it is un doubtfully, the smoke that thunders. This water titan roars at 546 million cubic meters, with every passing minute and plunges down into a 100-meter deep gorge below.
Nature has given a final stroke to create this master piece by the Zambezi River which beautifully rhymes above the falls. To marvel at this beauty, one should be there when the sun sets in the West and the golden light sprinkles to create a magical evening every evening. Safaris, sunrise cruise, helicopter rides, there are uncountable means and various ways to make the best use of your presence in this fairy land faraway from the woes and hustle of the city. But, if you want to taste the nature in the most natural way, try something different by taking a ride on the Elephant or a horse-back safari offered by many local tour operators at cheap prices.
British Airways and South African Airways all offer very cheap flights daily between Johannesburg (JNB), Harare and Victoria Falls Airport (VFA). Where as, Air Zimbabwe offers immensely cheap flights to Harare, from where you may get direct flights of Air Zimbabwe between Victoria Falls Airport and other destinations within Zimbabwe such as Bulawayo. The roads within Zimbabwe are relatively good for overland journeys and it’s also a good way of making the most of your trip to Zimbabwe. However, the most direct way to Victoria Falls overland is from Bulawayo. It’s possible to drive in through Livingstone, Zambia as well. You may get a ‘temporary import permit’ for the car at the Zambian boarder posts and drive all the way from Livingstone to Victoria Falls for a much adventurous experience. There is also a direct train route running between Victoria Falls and Bulawayo every night, the best thing about that is the First Class fare is negligible, and when you arrive at Victoria Falls in the morning at sunrise…..it just seems like a dream coming true. It is the best way to make your journey memorable and you will encounter very different familiarity while seeing the true Zimbabwe culture and way of life. In short, once you set foot in Zimbabwe, there are a million ways and means to make your journey a memory for a life time.
