VICTORIA FALLS, ZIMBABWE: 2 WEEKS
Zimbabwe lies between two great African rivers, the mighty Zambezi River in the
north, and the Limpopo River in the south. Covering an area of about 375,830 square
kilometres, it is best known by tourists for the Victoria Falls, a great waterfall
much larger than Niagara Falls.
The Victoria Falls are legendary - a ferocious curtain of water 1,700 metres wide
that plunges deep into the gorge of the mighty Zambezi River. Upstream from the
Falls the river is placid and tranquil. Zambezi National Park preserves 56,000 acres
along the river and there are fishing camps along the shore that take anglers out
on river to catch tiger fish. Wildlife can be viewed in cruises along the river
or on explorations into the park's interior.

I am having a wonderful time here.
The volunteer programme here is just what I was after – plenty of hands-on activities,
working closely with animals and helping in the conservation of a species. There
are 5 volunteers here at present (there were 7 until this morning) but there is
plenty of work for everyone. The work is varied and enjoyable, and the staff here
are very friendly.
