I was in the Victoria Falls area in late November, 2006. On the plane
back to South Africa I met South African tourists who has spent the time
on the Zimbabwe side of the falls (I stayed in Zambia except for one quick
afternoon trip to see the Zimbabwe side of the falls). The troubles in
Zimbabwe are considerable, and while the tourists from South Africa said
they were OK most of the time, life in general is getting quite difficult
for a lot of people there. They said that many of the places only
accepted payment in US$, bottled water was being sold for $4 for a fairly
small bottle, and in general everything was far more expensive than they
had been prepared for.

Considering that things there are changing day by day, if you do decide to
do this trip it would be interesting to hear back from you and see what
you have to say for the current situation there for tourists.
