Some good news!!
The floodwaters of the Zambezi have hit Victoria Falls ๐ฟ๐ผand Kariba - the river has risen quickly and the lake is starting to fill. This is the biggest flood ๐since 1977/78, which is the biggest flood since records started in the sixties. However, there is now a second wave coming through Chavuma (on the Angola ๐ฆ๐ด/Zambia ๐ฟ๐ฒborder) which looks as big as the first wave. The difference is the Barotse flood plain is now full and this wave will sweep over it. All the water will be channelled through to the Falls and into Kariba. I predict this will be the biggest flood since the Kariba Dam wall floods of 1958. Kariba will probably fill.
The sad news is with this disastrous Covid-19, there will only be a few locals to witness what will be one of the greatest shows put on by the Zambezi!!
Despite all that, were there is a good thing, you also find a bd thing. Everyone would have loved to see all that, what’s happening in the Mighty Zambezi!!!
To travel Is To Live๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐๐
I love how the nature has healed due to the lockdown. Its probably the only thing good about the pandemic but still I'm happy.
