Victoria Falls Pseudostamps

With the instability of Zimbabwean currency these days, it's impossible to know how many zeros to put on the postage price. Since this is just for fun and these psudostamps won't be used on letters, it doesn't really matter.

Victoria Falls Dancers

Here are a couple of looks at a dancer in the Traditional Dance Show at the Victoria Falls Hotel.

At the show these dancers are called Makishi dancers. I've never learned the exact tribal grouping they represent or whether they're from the Zambia or the Zimbabwe side of the Falls. The costuming reminds me of the Yao dancers from the Chewa people in Malawi.
