Retreat On The Zambezi

At the corner of 4 african countries are found the great Victoria Falls, where the Zambezi river storms down a narrow gorge to continue its course 100m below. The "Smoke that Thunders" can be seen from afar in the savane plateau surrounding it. Haven't been there, but definitely tempted.
At bit upstream on the Zambezi, in Zambia, sits a beautiful luxury lodge. Now I always have a bit of an ethical problem with enjoying luxury in Africa, considering the extreme poverty in the continent. Anyway, just for the atmosphere it gives off, look at the pictures below.
