I used to think Victoria Falls was the largest waterfall site in the world until...

Kaieteur Falls:

Kaieteur Falls is the world's largest single drop waterfall by the volume of water flowing over it. Located on the Potaro River in the Kaieteur National Park, it sits in a section of the Amazon rainforest included in the Potaro-Siparuni region of Guyana.

Great images.

In Lak'ech,

Hard to say, some go by largest (width/height), some falls measured by volume of water spilling over.

This is interesting I went to take a look since I have not seen this set of falls previously @jaichai what a magnificent drop of water, in another spectacular part of the world.

Learning something new every day, Inga Falls on Congo River has the largest volume, thanks for peeking my interest.

What a fasinating post to see the comparison of Victoria Falls from 1982 compared to 2006.
It is saddening to see the commercialism of such an amazing natural wonder and how fortunate you were to have been there in 1962! Beautiful! Beautiful Area!

I have a question about the view from the plane is that a cultivated area of some sort or is that what the natural terrain looks like?
I really appreciate you taking us along on these tours! That is the closest I'll get to visiting Victoria Falls!

The view from the plane is raw bushveld, natural terrain most of the way, you do see some farmlands spotted along the way where there is water and roads, none is this particular photo @porters, thanks for visiting and comment.

I am still dumbfounded how parents coped on the train, the journey to get there was a disjointed with many changes (relied on input from brothers and sister) took me months to research old train routes.

Original trip up was amazing, running through the bush barefoot never knowing what you would see around the next corner. Only scary moments, my Dad almost plummeting over the edge in the rain forest, and my oldest brother about to hurl a rock at a massive bee hive going down the steps to the boiling pot, other than that all was good at the end of the day.

What an amazing post. Great reflection. Eco tourism has become a fashionable word, but I wonder how long can nature and tourists stay as a happy marriage.
Everything looks great, though. I also wonder how much of the money produced by tourism goes back to the people of those communities (in improvements of their way of life).
I loved the fact that you had all those great pictures from the 1964 trip

$0.00

[-]

joanstewart (65) · 5 years ago

How much money is driven back into local communities I could not say, many do find employment in an otherwise economically drained country.

Being a small area on the border of Zambia and Botswana I dare to say they are able to obtain certain necessary amenities possibly not available locally.

One thing for certain, glaringly obvious is Zimbabwe is no longer the bread basket of Africa. Prime beef in 1964 was of superb quality along with many fresh vegetables and fruit. Noticeable difference in 2006 was lack of beef, in preference ordering warthog stew when dining out, knowing the meat was fresh.

I agree completely. Niagara falls in in a sorry state compared to Victoria falls. It's so bad a lot of companies used photoshopped pictures or views from places that it is impossible to actually see it, or even worse, the opposite country.

Wow, this is an epic post, @joanstewart. It was really fun to go on your travels. I'm glad that elephant riding has stopped. I didn't know it was bad for them, but knowing that I am very glad that the animals are treated with care and respect.

Exceptionally long distances to cover, needs some planning with countries not being stable as in yesteryear.

Friends with 4 x 4 vehicles traveled up in a group through Namibia, into Botswana down via Falls through Zimbabwe back to Durban. Valuable tips given was to travel with some goods to barter for food. In goods they referred to books for schooling, shoes, clothing, they had a clear run all the way through.

It is sad, we took additional things up just to hand out to some of the lovely folk we met up there. Doing the same at home with people stopping to ask for a pair of shoes, clothing or some food.

With the corruption that has happened in both countries we have moved backwards, unlike Botswana and Namibia who are slowly showing more stability.

Train travel today is sheer luxury at a price, worth putting on a bucket list looking at tours that take you up through three countries at a reasonable cost @brittandjosie, piecing the original trip together was a lot of fun.

I find the comparison between the two trips really interesting. It's ironic and funny that you had to keep your accommodations (which look amazing) locked, not to protect from humans but from monkeys (so is thievery a natural behavior?).
Great work. So much valuable info. Thanks for putting it together.

Kitchen has to be locked up at all times except if you are physically in there preparing food, yes the monkeys are cheeky, adds to the fun (we have this at home as well, quite used to it).

Being a proud South African I invite people to see this part of the world, thanks for visiting @owasco.

Younger than 60 it is amazing what exciting tours are arranged into this region with relatively good accommodation at a reasonable price. Flying directly in there is little problem with high security in the area, keep this on your bucket list, well worth a visit one day Ren.
