...contest between too many people on too little cultivable land. The U.N. Development Program predicted as long ago as November 1999 that one in two Africans would face water shortages by 2025, and said it expected violent flashpoints to erupt along the Nile, and in the Niger Volta and Zambezi deltas...
...kitchen in Harare, Zimbabwe, making around 500 bottles of hot sauce a year, which he sold in local supermarkets. Today, with the help of new partner Michael Gravina, he has expanded, selling some chilies direct to Tabasco and experimenting with his own recipes to produce four flavors, Baobab Gold, Zambezi Red, Mozambique Masala and Zanzibar Spice, in sauces and spice grinders.

The food is a well-presented delight, including fresh river fish, robust game and tender Zambian beef. And the library...
...even face that, there are golf carts to transport you to the water's edge. Rent a rain poncho for $2 from the guys at the top of the path - at this proximity, you don't so much see the Falls as pass through a series of Zambezi car washes - and pay your tourist dues...
