It was amazing and yes you should do it, the scenery was just amazing, especially the plane flight over the Okovango Delta

My apologies David Attenborough
I'd last about 2 minutes in the wild with my impeccable knowledge of nature ha

Brilliant.
Vic Falls looks a bit underwhelming though, what is the actual size of it do you know? Do they promote it as a big touristy thing?
What did you think of it?

Actually it was the end of the dry season so that's why not much water, still fairly impressive. They say that when it's in full flow its actually difficult to see because of all of the spray. The actual viewing area in on the other side of the gorge and in some spots it was like it was raining from the spray. In wet season it can be difficult to view.

Not sure how big, but its big.

It is a must see place to go to but with Zimbabwes economy being so crap they really can't afford to market it too much.

We ceratinly did. The best thing is that the camps include as much alcohol as you can drink plus you can even taken alcohol out on the safari drives

Not nervous at all cause they couldn't care less about you. Funny thing is you can leave the motor of the 4 wheel drive running and be parked right next to the animal and they totally ignore you, turn that motor off and they have vanished.

Yes was in Cheetah territory but there range is 40 square kilometres compared to 20 for Lions and Leopards so just a lot harder to sight. I was just rapped to see a leopard and got extra lucky as the photos are of two separate leopards seen over different days in different camps that were quite some distance apart.

If there were lions and leopards about then you probably wouldn't see cheetahs. Lions - and even leopards - have a habit of predating on Cheetahs ... mainly to assert territorial rights.
