We were so looking forward to doing the ferry thing down Kariba Dam from Kariba to Victoria Falls. An ‘old salty dog’ we spoke to said that ‘in the good old days’ there were two ferries on the Lake every day, one going up and one going down, every day the year and one had to book 3 months in advance.
Anyway, we decided to do the 1,000kms to Victoria Falls via the midlands of Zimbabwe.
The beautiful view looking down the escarpment from Makuti towards Mana Pools National Park.
The initial plan was to visit the National Park but one has to obtain permits at some or other place which we had already passed and they couldn’t tell us the cost. It would have meant back trekking to get the permits and then another 100kms or so to the gate.
This all sounded too complicated so we headed for Shinoyi via Karoi.
