Thanks, yes I plan to do that. Two thirds of my trip is self drive/independent. I am using a local agent for the safari portion in Botswana. I wanted to get info and pricing for all my local flights and hotels and then tell her what I am interested in. When she quoted me flight prices, she lumped two flights together, so I couldn't really tell what I'd be paying. I'm planning to have her book the V Falls hotel and miscellaneous flights for me.

Other reports said that the Ilala Lodge is also very close to the Falls and convenient for walking to the Falls and some marketplace. Do you feel that is accurate info?

Thanks for the tips.
