We did NOT go into Zimbabwe, as we didn't really see the need to, as we stayed at the River Club, which is in Zambia. My personal feeling is that I would not spend any money in Zim until the old man is gone, but I understand from talking to a lady in the hotel biz at the airport, that business is way down in Zim. You can probably get pretty good deals there. The tourist areas around Vic Falls are apparently fairly safe, but of course I wouldn't venture much out of that area. Folks who are familiar with the area say that the Zim side of Vic Falls is much more spectacular than the Zam side. However, you don't have to stay on the Zim side to visit that side of the Falls. You can just get a visa that allows you to walk past a certain area, to view the other side of the Falls. Can't remember what the cost was, maybe $25 a person?? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/thinks.gif" alt="" /> Not sure. If you decide to change your mind, and stay on the Zam side, and still want to see the other side of the falls, your hotel can arrange that visa for you.
When do you go, Edward???
