The Iguazu Falls Brazil


After visiting Victoria Falls it was difficult to imagine anything to surpass that but Iguazu cetainly did in terms of magnitude.






In a fit of madness we decided to go whitewater rafting. An exhilerating experience to say the least.













It is great to be able to explore from both the Brazillian and the Argentinian sides of the falls







A profusion of beautiful butterflies brings glorious flashes of colour

Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River

From a small plane one can see the extent of these falls that lie between Zambia and Zimbabwe


We visited in September when the water levels are very low. I would love to go back and see this in full flow!


There is always something very special about a sunset in Africa. This was taken on the Zambezi River


This was taken at the top of the falls from where we were swimming in the Devils Pool which is only possible when the water is low.




At dusk a view of the Zambezi through these beautiful natural arches
