Zambia (Day Three) - Vic Falls Micro-flight

 Helen in Flight  "Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight". This allegedly is what David Livingstone said  as he gazed upon the falls for the first time and Wednesday brought what for us has been the highlight of the entire holiday, when we each took a micro-light flight over the Falls and had an "angel's view". 

It was only about fifteen minutes each, but it was amazing to see the Falls from above, to look down and see the gorges where the Falls had been previously (the Falls are currently in Gorge 8) and James in Flightsee the fault where the new gorge is being formed.

Despite the short trip there was plenty of opportunity to chat with our German pilot. He was  interested in the work we are doing in Opuwo , having  himself lived in Namibia and is planning some flights up in the Kunene region next May so has our email address!
