Subject: Re: Campsites on the way to Vic Falls Posted on: Wed, 05 May 2004 08:48:08 MDT

Hi Koos,

When we were at Victoria Falls in 1997 we stayed at Victoria Falls National
Park to the north and west of the townsite. There is a narrow strip of park
all along the river, but it joins to a larger area in that direction. We
had a worn but clean cabin with a view of the Zambezi river out back. The
price was much less than a similar cabin in Kruger or Kgalagadi. We did not
check out the campsites in the area, but I believe there were some and it
was far enough out of town to get away from the noise and crowds.

We made our booking through the National Parks office in Bulawayo. The
office in Harare might have better connections though.

We found Victoria Falls "interesting" and it is certainly something you have
to see, but it was not my favourite part of out trip to Zimbabwe in 1997.
