Did Victoria Falls run dry? [Travel]

<p>Last October, Zambian President Edgar Lungu suggested in a tweet that one of the natural wonders of the world, the Victoria Falls, had dried up due to the effects of global warming.</p> <p>However, the impact of global warming on the falls remains uncertain, according to a study by Zambia’s Department of Meteorology based on 40 years of data.</p> <p>In any case, this story has been the subject of much discussion on the Zimbabwean side. Local people and guides alike have paid for the information. Several tourists have cancelled reservations. </p> <p>So in order to silence these rumours, official bodies, including the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority and the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, have denied the rumours by launching a social networking campaign, supported by the hashtag #VicFallsisnotdry.</p> <p>Chancela Gnignui tells us more in this travel segment. </p> <a href="https://twitter.com/ChancelaGNINGUI" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false"> @ChancelaG </a><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
