One of the Most Beautiful Places in the World!


We were so blessed to be able to take a short vacation in January to Victoria Falls in Zambia. It is considered the "largest curtain of water" in the world. The majestic falls is 1708 meters (a little over 1 mile).

Victoria Falls is on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Due to visa constraints, we stayed on the Zambia side, but were able to see a different view just before the Zimbabwe border from the bridge going across the gorge and the beautiful Zambezi river below.



It was so beautiful. We saw a full-circle rainbow as we looked down on the river.








In the park, the spray from the falls was very overwhelming - like a heavy rain. But on the bridge it was easier to see the beauty of it all. What an awesome Creator we serve. He has made this beautiful masterpiece for us to enjoy. It is a sight not to be missed when you are in Africa! It is a 2-day drive from Lilongwe and the landscape and good roads in between make it a very enjoyable trip.
