Safety at victoria falls

I will go to victoria falls at the end of may. Since the news about the
situation in Simbabwe has been pretty bad recently I wonder if this effects
safety at victoria falls too. Maybe somebody has been there recently and can
tell how the situation is there .

Hallo Konstantin!
Ich schreibe dir in Deutsch, weil ch an deiner Mail gesehenhabe dass
du eine de Domain hast.
Ich fahre heuer im Sommer auch nach VicFalls und hatte die selben
Bedenken wie du. Ich habe mich beim Auswärtigen Amt in Österreich bzw.
bei der Botschaft erkundigt und die sagten mir, dass VicFalls
anscheinend wirklich eine Oase des Friedens sei. Auch ein über diese
Newsgroup bekommene Mail von einem Österreicher, der in RSA lebt und
vor ca. 5 Wochen in VikFalls und im Hwango NP war, bestätigte, dass
bis auf Schwierigkeiten bei der Benzinversorgung keinerlei Bedenken
gegen eine Reise in diese Gegend gegeben sind.

Spent 3 days in Vic Falls at early April, 2004.
Everythings appeared normal.
Did not feel unsafe or any threats when walking in the town center during
the day time.
Quite a lot of tourist police on the streets.
The only thing was that........it was too quiet in Vic Falls.
My observation was that...most of the hotels / resorts were quite 'EMPTY'.

Take normal precautionary measures.
DO NOT change money on the street!
