    May I act as Devil's Avodcate here, having been there? Yes, the Victoria Falls are in southern Africa (note small "s") but they are nowhere near the country South Africa which must be about 4-500 miles further south.

    Clearly shows ZAMBIA & the border, and as my line shows its firmly located in Zambia, and their website says 'Victoria falls, zambiatourism'

    This may be of some help or not!

    "Open to visitors throughout the year, the Victoria Falls National Park in north-western Zimbabwe protects the south and east bank of the Zambezi River. It covers 23.4 km² extending from the larger Zambezi National Park about 6 km above
    the falls to about 12 km below the falls.

    A notable feature of the park is the rainforest which grows in the spray of the falls, including ferns, palms, liana vines, and a number of trees such as mahogany not seen elsewhere in the region.

    Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia is an UNESCO World Heritage site and is twinned to the Victoria Falls National Park on the Zimbabwean side. The Park covers 66 km² (25.5 square miles) from below the falls in a north-west arc along about 20 km of the Zambian river bank.

    Not sure where youre getting your info from -

    ''Our closing date is-This week's competition will end on 20th March 2014''
    (IS AN ONGOING WEEKLY COMP)

    And their reply to my question about there possibly being perceived as 3 answers - ''Absolute Digital Media yes all 3 answers are accepted''

    1-ZAMBIA
    2-ZIMBABWE
    3-AFRICA

    ALL ACCEPTABLE

    -This week's competition will end on 20th March 2014


    I'm a bit confused as to why it would go to game over as the end date is already 18/04. There are 8 weekly prizes of an easter egg with a final prize of an ipad & there's a different picture each week which I've been updating as & when it changes, the next one should be on the 21st March so I'll update the OP then. If I change the end date to 20/03 then it will go to GO before the end of the actual comp
