Our tour guide Thelma was very knowledgeable

We had an amazing day in majestic of Victoria Falls. We passed through at the baobab tree, which is believed to be 1000+ years. Our tour guide, Thelma, shared some incredible stories about this tree. Our tour of the Falls started on the Zimbabwean side. She shared some fascinating stories about the Falls, the formation of the Falls, the story of David Livingston within the local people, and the differences within the local cultures. The Zambian side was fantastic, though we had a lot of showers. Our clothes and shoes were very wet, and l would recommend wearing flip-flops on the tour. Amazing scenery, l would highly recommend this tour
