The African Queen, what a classic, was shot on the Nile in Uganda and the Congo. I’ve been on both rivers but never felt more like Charlie Allnut than on the Zambezi in a boat like this …
The Zambezi is the fourth longest river in Africa draining slightly less than half the area that the Nile draws from. Its source is in Zambia, it flows through Angola, is the boundary of Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe before traversing Mozambique to the Indian Ocean. Its most notable feature is the spectacular Victoria Falls. The Kariba dam is a major hydro plant providing electricity to Zambia and Zimbabwe. Frequent rapids prevent it being a major transport route.
It was a very pleasant afternoon cruise. Even more enjoyable because our skipper was into the birds. He made a point of finding us Finfoot and White-crowned Lapwing, two of the local specialities.
