Everything you wanted to know about Rainbows:
A rainbow is a multicolored arc made by light striking water droplets.
The most familiar type of rainbow is produced when sunlight strikes raindrops in front of a viewer at a precise angle (42 degrees). Rainbows can also be viewed around fog, sea spray, or waterfalls.
A rainbow is an optical illusion—it does not actually exist in a specific spot in the sky. The appearance of a rainbow depends on where you are standing and where the sun (or other source of light) is shining.

Hello,
Here are some facts about Victoria Falls: *
1. Victoria Falls is the largest waterfall in the world
Victoria Falls is neither the widest nor highest waterfall in the world, but it’s the world’s largest sheet of falling water. It is twice the height of North America’s Niagara Falls, and is only rivalled by Iguazu Falls in South America. It is 108m tall (354 ft) and 1708m wide (5604 ft).

Hello,
Below are just a very few details and highlights of the course of the Zambezi.
The fourth longest river in Africa travels through five countries: Zambia, Angola, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Mozambique.
The Zambezi rises in a black, marshy dambo (shallow wetland) in dense, North-Western Province, Zambia, at about 1,524 meters (5,000 ft) above sea level.
The river flows to the southwest into Angola for about 240 km (150 mi), then is joined by sizeable tributaries such as the Luena and the Chifumage flowing from highlands to the north-west. Zambezi turns south where it re-enters Zambia.

Hello,
In my very limited experience, a Game Drive is certainly not a continuous stream of animal and bird sightings. On the contrary, the day is usually a series of brief encounters. And also, a matter of luck. Of course, the Guide/Driver uses his knowledge of “the bush” to locate the animals. Maybe we will see a giraffe today. Maybe not.
Today the Main Feature is Elephants.
