The classic view of Africa is the safari adventure so when not swimming next to the falls we took a day trip to Botswana to take in the classic Africa. I have heard stories that the leader of Botswana is extremely passionate about animals and apparently he uses his army to protect them. Poachers can be shot on site and even just hitting a wild animal with your car on the road can get you jail time. So the wildlife parks there are flooded with animals and at the end of the dry season the only place where the animals can get water is at the river. We took a boat trip along the river and saw cape buffalo and elephants by the hundreds. Hippos, crocs and antelope were also very abundant. And there were too many species of bird too count.
Here are some pictures.

Swimming Next to Victoria Falls
There was a ledge about 5cm under water and 1 meter from the edge of the falls that kept us from going over.
