Things to Do  

Mosi Oa Tunya National Park

Mosi Oa Tunya National Park, Livingstone Game Park

 grets Says:  The guide book I read before coming to Victoria Falls, did not give Mosi Oa Tunya National Park a particularly good review, so we are very pleasantly surprised. It is a fairly small park, with a great concentration of game, although no large cats. We see every single species... 

The Falls

The Falls, Livingstone Game Park

 grets Says:  The Zambian side of the falls is just as spectacular as the Zimbabwean side, and every bit as wet. My shoes are squelching! The path meanders over a small metal bridge, where the spray creates a torrential downpour and we get soaked to the skin. Deciding to put my hood up... 

Victoria Falls Bridge

Victoria Falls Bridge, Livingstone Game Park

 grets Says:  A famous landmark, the bridge was completed in 1905 as part of Cecil Rhodes' dream of building a railway from Cape to Cairo. The bridge now carries cars, pedestrians and trains side by side - all at the same time if necessary. If you so wish, you may jump off the bridge with...

There are no restaurants allowed inside the Livingstone Game Park for obvious reasons!! This is no place for having one!!! Also no food is allowed inside the game park and feeding the animals is strictly prohibited!!! And the inhabitants (animals) would not like the intruders (us) to feast on something they don't eat!!! HAHAHA!!! So please take adequate caution in this respect and follow the rules and guidelines strictly!!!

Having a picnic - on the lookout for wild animals

The guide book I read before coming to Victoria Falls, did not give Mosi Oa Tunya National Park a particularly good review, so we are very pleasantly surprised. It is a fairly small park, with a great concentration of game, although no large cats. We see every single species of game present in the park, and even Gilbert feels that we are fantastically lucky.

There are large herds of elephants with some very small babies, lots of giraffes with babies as well as large herds of buffalo again with babies. We see babboons, green vervet monkeys, warthogs, the ever-present impala, wildebeest, bushbuck, waterbuck, hippo, crocodile and finally, the piece de resistance, four white rhino. After we stop for a picnic of Zambezi beer and apple turnovers, we come across the rhinos actually in the middle of the road.

Once inside the park DO NOT get out of the vehicle for your own safety according to the rules and follow all guidelines given by the park rangers!!!

Some of the wild animals can get offensive if provoked or even due to other reasons, so beware of the ferocious ones like the rhinos, elephants and crocodiles (near the river banks)!!!

Also do not feed the animals as they are wild animals and can fend for themselves as this is not a zoo where they are kept on display in open areas!!! If they get easy access to food then they stop looking for the natural food and hope to be fed like pets which is not good for them in the long run!!! They need not be dependent on us for their food but only for their safety which we can now guarantee by not poaching them and shooting them down like the earlier people used to for trophies but just shoot them on film for our photographic trophies and memories!!!

 aadil Says:  Crocodiles in the river are dangerous and they can emerge suddenly from the waters and pull you away!!!!! You are not permitted to get out of the vehicle you are travelling in the Game Park at any time, so be careful if you go into the river!!! Don't say I didn't warn you!!!... 

Two Horned Rhino!!!

Two Horned Rhino!!!, Livingstone Game Park

 aadil Says:  This is a picture of the two horned Rhino in the Livingstone Game Park. We were very lucky to see these giant animals since they are usually not visible in the afternoon after their lunch break!! And we were intruding in their siesta time!! 

Dear Deer!!!

Dear Deer!!!, Livingstone Game Park

 aadil Says:  The animals in the Livingstone Game Park were all herbivorous and no carnivores were there except for the crocodiles in the river. This picture is of a group of deer in the vast reserve in the middle of the city!! 

Good Camouflage!!!

Good Camouflage!!!, Livingstone Game Park

 aadil Says:  This is a tall giraffe in the Livingstone Game Park. It's natural deceptive markings merge very well with the foliage and is very difficult to detect unless out in the open!!!
