Sunday 29th August - Namushasha to Victoria Falls, Zambia
Distance:305km
This is our final riding day……….after breakfast we return back up the track road to the main Caprivi highway. We are aiming for the border post at Katima Mulilo which as with the South Africa/Namibia border is marked by a mighty river, The Zambezi. Once custom formalities have been cleared, its 190kms straight down the road to Livingstone and The Victoria Falls, "The Smoke That Thunders" and watching out for those famous Zambian potholes along the way though!
The Victoria Falls are situated on the Zambezi River, on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe and are roughly 1.7 km (1 mile) wide and 128 m (420 ft) high. They are considered a remarkable spectacle because of the peculiar narrow slot-like chasm into which the water falls, so one can view the falls face-on. It is described by the Kololo tribe living in the area as 'Mosi-oa-Tunya' - 'the Smoke that Thunders' and in encyclopaedias as 'the greatest known curtain of falling water'.
This, our last night on the tour, is spent at The Zambesi Sun a lodge with it's own private entrance to view the falls.
