The mighty Mosi Oa Tunya, or Victoria Falls as it is famously known, is not the highest, or the widest waterfall in the world but in my mind and memory, it is definitely one of the most beautiful. The falls are situated along the Zambia and Zimbabwe border, and to cross over to either side, you have to cross a bridge, which is neatly divided in the middle to demarcate the border. We stayed in a hotel called the Zambezi Sun, located in Zambia just in the outskirts of a town called Livingstone. We couldn't have asked for a better location as the falls were literally in the backyard of the hotel!
Once we checked in, a very informative concierge informed us all about the facilities and the surroundings of the hotel, and even told us that we could walk all the way over to the Zimbabwe side of the falls if we wanted to - all we needed to bring was our room key and the hotel card and we would be let through. There was no need for passports or even informing the immigration at the border. That sounded a little unbelievable but what's life without a little adventure every now and then?
