He had taken her to Victoria Falls arriving by a flight from Harare on the national carrier, Air Zimbabwe. They were whisked to their shared accommodation at the Syringa Lodge. He was sharing with a white guy while she shared with another female tourist though both Caucasian tourists were not related.

“What’s that sound?” she had asked when they were having dinner.

“What?”

“Thundering noise?” she had insisted.

“Those are what they call the Victoria Falls. You can hear them from as far as Chinotimba Township to the south east,” he replied.

“Oh?” she had queried. ”I have never lived in Chinotimba Township.”

“Are you afraid of heights?” he had asked.

“I have flown before,” she had replied.

“Bad question,” he had replied. “I wanted to see if you like banjee jumping.”

“I have done para sailing,” she replied.

He had booked them on the Flight of Angels in a small aeroplane whose take-off and landing brought butterflies flapping in his stomach. Why did he sweat so much when there was an air conditioning unit working well in the plane? It was like driving on a porthole road in the middle of the night at full speed. There were two bumps and they were airborne.

“Up and going,” the pilot had announced rising in height until he cruised at 1500 feet above the Zambezi River. He traced the river from the Zimbabwean side to the Zambia side and near the Botswana side before roaring on a parallel course to the actual falls. Camera stayed close to the plane windows and shutters worked. “Shall I lower the flaps and land?”

“Are you insured?” queried Charles.

“No.”

“Good question,” suggested Charles as they flew over the Zambian power plant on the falls. They guessed there was a generator there because of pylons carrying electricity.
