Vic falls before and beyond the tipping point

There is no denying that Vic Falls is beautiful.

There is also no denying that it reached a tipping point of popularity a few years ago and that as a result it was maybe changed forever: it is on every list of the “100 places you need to see before you die”.

A few years still, I had experienced the wild side of Vic Falls. You would meet elephants and buffalo herds while strolling on the river banks of the Zambezi river.

It is these memories that I am trying to preserve now.

Beyond the tipping point? it’s only downhill I am afraid. Prepare for the hordes of Chinese and Japanese tourists that, as I write, are partaking in the most cynical auctioning process since the 19th century “scramble for Africa”.

Everything is for sale in our world, especially Africa.
