Livingstone, Zambia and Sunset on the Zambezi River

Had to walk across the border to get to Livingstone, Zambia

the walk took about 20 mins in some seriously hot African sun
(learned our lesson though and took a taxi for the return trip home)

We crossed over the infamous Victoria Falls Bridge

View from one side of the Victoria Falls Bridge, btw you can bungee jump off of this bridge

Baboons were running around free all along the border crossing,
especially outside the Zambian immigration office :0)

Livingstone and Vic Falls really cater to tourist and make sure they truly feel like they are in "Africa."
There was even traditional singing and dancing randomly everywhere you went. 

Took a break from the heat and had cocktails at the Royal Livingstone Hotel.
This patio overlooks the Zambezi River.

Some of the staff were dressed in traditional Zambian outfits

 or traditional colonial outfits

Went back to Victoria Falls and Zimbabwe to enjoy a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River

Saw crocs on the shore 

and tons of hippos

this Nile Croc was huge

of course also took in the sunset

Went to a really cool restaurant, The Boma, for dinner.  It is super touristy, but fun nonetheless.

they dressed everyone in a wrap

and painted your face

View of the dinning room from the dance floor.  And of course there was drumming and dancing!!!
They even had a traditional healer sitting in a hut by the entrance that will read your fortune.

As you can see from the mask and shield bread cut outs they really get into it

Boma boasts a fab buffet

You can even select your choice of meat, from a diversity of game meats, and it is grilled for you while you wait 

Food was fantastic.  I even tried a small piece of a Mopani worm (admittedly I am still grossed out by this fact)

Cheers
