Biasevu Village is the base for a ‘waterfall tour’ . Really, it’s a simple 2km walk to the falls but I understand the local economy does need a boosting and the people along the trail are all super friendly. I did feel that I was being judged poorly as a photographer when I initially spoke to the villagers in charge though. They wanted to charge me extra for simply being a photographer. Perhaps there have been some who have behaved poorly or had expectations that social media exposure would win them favours and thus acted superior? For whatever reason, I felt perhaps this was an opportunity to remind myself not to walk around with an overinflated ego just because of the number of online followers I have . It also reminded me of the dangers of judging anyone without first speaking to them.
