The two Presidents visited the photographic point and lunar rainbow point and also briefly walkes upstream the Zambezi River.

“It is a wonderful experience visiting the Victoria Falls and one cannot come to Zambia without seeing this wonderful feature.

“It is not really the smoke that thunders but what lies behind the smoke here in Livingstone” Dr Koroma said.

  1. ……I’m surprised scribers are still referring our very own natural wonder as ‘Victoria’……Mosi-o-tunya Falls please…..
    ….Dr Korama’s sentiments seem to suggest that we have not marketed the falls adequately….

    • @Scrutinizerer it takes a family of 5 (wifey, 3 kids and myself) US$8,000 to fly from London to Livingstone and put in another US$2,000 for boarding and lodging plus extra US$1,000 for incidentals (transport etc) total US$11k . Where as it takes me US$3,000 for flights from London to Yellowstone National Park or even Disneyland! Another US$1,000 in 4star hotel plus free card! Ba Karoma nangu mwalitemwa Vic Falls! But then wait a minute…. This bugger came using government funds. Even EL’s wife had never been out of the country before she became first lady!

    • @MB….
      ….I find it difficult to comprehend the point u are trying to drive at….firstly, from London we quote in Pounds…Sterling…and not Dollars….secondly, are u trying to say its very expensive in your case to visit Mosi-O-tunya than other destinations…..??….whatever you are trying bring out is not collaborating with topic in the article….Dr Korama sounded overwhelmed and perplexed that there is such a natural wonder within African territory……we need to do more to enlighten other potential tourists who may have no idea about wonders such as Mosi-o-tunya…..

  2. Naa ,it cant surprise him ,infact sierra Leone has got nice beaches ,namely mahara beach & the other one lies on the outskirts of freetown ,they have the deepest third harbour port in the world.

  3. The name for our Zambian falls is misplaced, I would suggest that a local name be the right one than those imported names . Let the local people say exactly what name means well for the falls.

  4. Ba MB, after ka cleaning Job ku Crystal Palace please save. You are a disgrace is UK using dollars yaba muzileka ma comments
