I think they should do some chicken fighting. Or better yet Marco Polo...

Victoria falls is awesome. I never got the guts to go to the safe pool zone, because frankly am not mental, the Zambezi's river happens to be full of crocodiles who very often fall over the side of the falls. I did white water rafting right below and after the falls and it's one of the best experiences of my life.

Standing on the sides you get a gush of fine misty rain that forms countless rainbows, and is cool to the skin. The locals actually call it Mosi-A-Tunya, which means the cloud that thunders, as you can hear the falls way before you can see it. It is also the name of Zambia's beer, which is piss poor unfortunately

The coolest thing is being right below the falls, you can actually walk up to the edge and see the huge tornado like vortex of falling water that forms below, its astounding, a tour guide said that its possible to fall into it and remain submerged for nearly 2 years as water keeps falling.

incredible. Almost tempted to call * British for the ridiculous imperialism that caused a visitor to see it and "claim it" by naming it for our queen. True arrogance.
