An Eclipsing Encounter!!!

I travelled to Lusaka, Zambia for the Total Solar Eclipse in June 2001 and it was a wonderful experience. I also visited the beautiful Victoria Falls and saw the Crocodile Park, Wild Life Park and artists village in Livingstone city. See the pictures of these beautiful places and you'll want to rush there now, but alas there will be no eclipse then!!!
