Witness the magical lunar rainbow at one of the seven wonders of the world-Victoria Falls.
The season of high water is approaching (April to July) make plans to visit Victoria Falls, taking note of the forthcoming full moons (March 23, April 22 and May 21). This appears the night before, night of and night after the full moon.
Witnessing the Falls at its best can be done either from the air or walking the various trails. The lunar rainbow is at its best (if the night is clear) when there is sufficient spray to create the moonbow effect.
A moonbow is created in the same way a rainbow is, water refracting through water droplets, but the effect is completely different: this is nature’s Yin to the rainbow’s Yang, a soft and gentle light and simply the most romantic thing I can think of!
There are various other activities to enjoy – especially for the adrenalin-seekers – bungee jumping, abseiling, whitewater rafting and river-boarding just to name a few.
Victoria Falls
Water story. The water that flows over the Falls begins life as rain falling on the DRC / Zambia border. The river then travels into Angola before returning to Zambia. It is joined along the way by several other rivers and eventually becomes the largest river in Africa that flows into the Indian Ocean.
High Water: March, April and May.
Don’t bother with an umbrella, swimming togs are what’s required at this time of year because there is so much spray that you’ll get soaked! In fact, gravity is defied and the “rain” falls upwards, away from Earth! From ground-level the view is rubbish, but the roar and thunder is invigorating! This is the ideal time to take “The Flight of the Angels” and view the Falls from a couple of hundred feet above.The white-water rafting is BIG during this season.
