Considering cancelling Victoria Falls trip
I had planned to visit Victoria Falls in early January.
The original plan had been to spend 3 nights on the Zimbabwe side and 3 nights on the Zambian side. However, the worsening currency crisis in Zimbabwe convince me to change my plans and I am now booked to spend 5 nights on the Zambian side, at the Protea Hotel Livingstone.
Given the recent drought conditions and the resultant low water levels, I am seriously wondering whether it is even worth going at all.
This is booked as a side trip from JNB (booked independently of my main flights to SA) and is easily cancelable with a net loss of around 200-250 USD.
I wonder whether it might be better to just cut my losses, head down to CPT, PLZ or DUR instead and leave Victoria Falls for another time?
