* Zimbabwe *
2 weeks in southern Africa alone / 2015 Three world famous water falls are Niagra Falls in Canada - USA, Iguacu Falls in Brazil - Argentina and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe - Zambia. We can walk to Victoria Falls from the city.
1km down hill to the falls. 1km up hill from the falls. Tourist taxi run there.
30 US$ entrance fee. It was not cheep. The ramp at entrance.
107 meter high, 1737 meter wide.
I did not get any wheelchair accessible info before. Just go and try. The trails are quite flat. I could reach all the view spots of Zimbabwe side on wheelchair alone.
1st view spot.
3rd view spot.
Many tourists here. It is easy to ask them to be pushed a wheelchair.
Great views.
Some view sports with fog and rains. Enjoy to be wet.
Final 16th view spot to see the bridge.
Victoria falls in Zimbabwe. Most of all the path are wheelchair accessible. I hope that they put wheelchair mark in the map.
Local lunch. Beef stew and fufu.
Dance performance at a hotel restaurant in Zimbabwe. Free to see. They just want tip or sell the CD. Happy to stay here only 20 US$ for bed. They also have private cottages and camp site.
Their song and dance. * Zambia * Pass the border Zimbabwe - Zambia by walk. I found a wheelchair toilet there. That was the only wheelchair toilet I had seen during my stay in Zimbabwe.
Victoria Falls Bridge. Narrow pedestrian. About 70 cm wide.
Bungee jump on the bridge. So high. I wanted to see it, but I could not go there by myself because of railway truck.
View from the bridge. Entrance of Zambia side to see the falls. It cost 20 US$. Zambia side main path has many stairs, but some parts are wheelchair accessible. They discount half price for me and the boss lady guided me. I left my baggage at their entrance office. Kind boss. In front of the bronze statue " Livingstone ". This view spot is possible to access on wheelchair. Upstream of the falls. Do not jump in the river.
Another view spot. From here people go down the stairs and walk near the falls under the shower. Guest house in Livingstone, Zambia. The city museum has a ramp at entrance. Worth to see it. Wheelchair accessible toilet at Livingstone airport. Zambia accessibility is better than Zimbabwe.
