The Victoria Falls, which draws millions of holidaymakers to Zimbabwe and Zambia, has shrunk to a trickle, fuelling fears that climate change could kill one of the region’s biggest tourist attractions
VICTORIA FALLS, Zambia - For decades Victoria Falls, where southern Africa’s Zambezi river cascade down 100 metres into a gash in the earth, have drawn millions of holidaymakers to Zimbabwe and Zambia for their stunning views.
“In previous years, when it gets dry, it’s not to this extent. This our first experience of seeing it like this,” Dominic Nyambe, a seller of tourist handicrafts in his 30s said outside his shop in Livingstone, on the Zambian side. Zimbabwe and Zambia have suffered power cuts as they are heavily reliant on hydropower from plants at the Kariba Dam which is on the Zambezi river upstream of the waterfalls.
