Default RVclubSA Trip: Botswana & Victoria Falls

Hi Guys,

it was on the news/front page, but I received some new awesome pictures of the event. Go to www.rvclubsa.com for the whole story.


Kind Regards
Rudi

A handful of the South Africans flew with their RV?s to our neighboring countries and visited Victoria Falls.

"The Victoria Falls constitutes one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world. The Local people call it "Mosi-oa-Tunya" -- the smoke that thunders and the Falls are remarkable. There is a magic about them manifested in the towering column of spray when the river is high, the thunder of the falling water, the terrifying abyss and tranquil lagoons upstream in which hippo and deadly crocodiles lurk. The Victoria falls is 1 708 meters (1.06 miles) wide, making it the largest curtain of water in the world. It drops between 90m and 107m into the Zambezi Gorge and an average of 550,000 cubic metres of water plummet over the edge every minute.?

Pitty the river was not in full flood when the RV's visited.
