Shongwe: the rich heritage of Livingstone and Victoria Falls
This booklet is packed with facts, history and illustrations and is surely a necessary read by any visitor to the Victoria Falls, be it to either Zambia or Zimbabwe. It emphasises that fact that the waterfall is so much more than the visit by David Livingstone in 1855. There is a diverse history to the area, both before and since that time. It covers the history of African and European endeavour centred on this amazing waterfall. Who lived here and how the area was colonised are topics considered in detail. The multi-facetted sights/sites of the waterfall and the Zambezi River are presented, hopefully extending interest when visiting this, one of the World’s great natural wonders.
