Once suitably soaked, perhaps with an authentic fleck of rain-forest mud or two around your ankles, forge your way back to the Livingstone for lunch. After a morning discovering Africa, most guests quite rightly opt for an afternoon by the pool. Children and companions with attention-deficit disorder can be diverted to helicopter rides over the Falls or game drives in the tiny adjacent Mosi-oa-Tunya Zoological Park, which boasts five white rhinos, as well as antelopes, giraffes and buffalos.

The reason for the villagers' fear becomes evident a few minutes later: nine turbaned men on horseback, members of the Arab militia known as the Janjaweed, appear with rifles over their shoulders. We are gone...
Additional evidence of the Indians' presence in the fort comes from one of the buildings Kelso's team excavated. Known as "the quarter," it was at least 30 ft. long by 18 ft. wide and appears to have been built using a mud-and-stud technique that was popular in Lincolnshire, England, during the early 17th century. In one corner of its cellar the archaeologists found a butchered turtle shell and pig bones, as well as an Indian cooking pot with traces of turtle bone inside. Nearby were a Venetian trade bead, a sheathed dagger and a musketeer...
