THE Jameson Victoria Falls Carnival kicked off on a high note with a bush party at Jafuta, a few kilometres outside the resort town on Sunday.

A few locals and hordes of tourists from all over Southern Africa, Malaysia and America, swarmed the Vic Falls train station just after 4pm to board the vintage steam train which ferried them to the carnival bush venue.
Team South Africa was not to be outdone as they were clad in fancy costumes designed with their country’s flag.
South Africa’s top socialite Bonang Matheba also graced the event and left most fans awestruck before tweeting: “Zimbabwe has to be one of the most beautiful countries in the world . . . Besotted, (sic) just after jetting into the country on Sunday.
“With Vic Falls’ DJ Francis already on board pumping beats, people swarmed the club set-up deck, while the less energetic VIPs preferred to sit.”
Revellers partied in style on their way to the venue as DJ Francis ensured people danced and jumped to every song.
By the time people got to the venue, most of the verve had been drained, but Burn, an energy drink, came to the rescue.
