I recently visited Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the smoke that thunders) in Zambia recently. These falls are one of the seven natural wonders of the world listed by UNESCO. Mosi-oa-Tunya falls border the countries of Zimbabwe and Zambia, and depending how you calculate it are the largest single sheet of falling water in the world at almost 2km wide and over 100 metres deep. Allegedly 'discovered' in 1855 by Scottish explorer Dr Livingstone, and named it after the Queen of England. Obviously Africans already knew of these water falls, but some reports even suggest that the Portuguese had sighted the falls before he had, so he most likely was not even the first European to sight the falls.
The Falls are in a national park, so an entry fee is payable. To my horror they also practise dual pricing; $10 for visitors and 100 Kwacha for locals. Oh well. Pay it anyway.
The day was a touch overcast, but most of this water was spray rather than precipitation. We were soaking wet after a brief walk.
One can bungee jump from this bridge that connects the two countries. But there was no chance I was doing that.
