Victoria Falls
Vic Falls - the adventure capital of Zimbabwe. The Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the ‘Smoke that Thunders’) is a waterfall located in southern Africa on the Zambezi River between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. David Livingstone, the Scottish missionary and explorer, is believed to have been the first European recorded to view the Victoria Falls — which he did from what is now known as 'Livingstone Island' in Zambia, the only land accessible in the middle of the falls. While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, it is claimed to be the largest. This claim is based on a width of 1,708 metres (5,604 ft)and height of 108 metres (354 ft), forming the largest sheet of falling water in the world. The river's annual flood season is February to May with a peak in April. The spray from the falls typically rises to a height of over 400 metres (1,300 ft), and sometimes even twice as high, and is visible from up to 50 km (31 mi) away. The two countries permit tourists to make day trips from each side and visas can be obtained & paid for, at the border posts. A famous feature is a naturally formed pool known as the Devil's Pool, near the edge of the falls, accessed via Livingstone Island in Zambia. When the river flow is at a safe level, usually during the months of September to December, people can swim as close as possible to the edge of the falls within the pool without continuing over the edge and falling into the gorge. Vic Falls in Zimbabwe has wildlife roaming around and through the town plus one can easily visit the Zambian side of the falls as a day visitor.
