Helicopter over Victoria Falls

We had our first helicopter ride this morning over Victoria Falls. The wives did a 15 minute trip in a figure 8 around the falls and up the river to view the wildlife in the park. They actually let me volunteer to wait for the next helicopter for a 30 minute ride - I also got to go down through the Zambezi river canyon only 50 meters over the water with the canyon walls around me. All of us were awed by the falls, never seen anything like this drop into a canyon.

In the afternoon, we did a sunset cruise on the Zambezi. Highlights were a set of 4 water monitors and then seeing a crocodile with a water monitor in its mouth.
