2Victoria Falls, Zambia and Zimbabwe: The Smoke That Thunders
Victoria Falls, located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, is one of the largest and most spectacular waterfalls in the world. Known locally as “Mosi-oa-Tunya,” or “The Smoke That Thunders,” the falls stretch over a mile wide and plunge more than 350 feet into the Zambezi Gorge. The sheer volume of water crashing over the falls creates a mist that can be seen from miles away, adding to the dramatic effect.
Standing on the edge of Victoria Falls, with the roar of the water and the spray hitting your face, is a truly awe-inspiring experience. The surrounding rainforest, nourished by the mist from the falls, is home to a diverse array of wildlife, adding to the beauty and mystique of the area. Victoria Falls is not only one of the most breathtaking natural wonders on Earth but also one of the most powerful displays of nature’s force.
