THE VICTORIA FALLS AND GREAT ZAMBEZI
Described by the Kololo tribe living in the area in
the 1800’s as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ - ‘the Smoke that Thunders’
and in more modern terms as ‘the greatest known curtain of
falling water’, Victoria Falls are a spectacular sight of
awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River,
bordering Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Columns of spray can be seen from miles away as 546 million
cubic meters of water per minute plummet over the edge (at
the height of the flood season) over a width of nearly two
kilometers into a deep gorge over 100 meters below. The wide
basalt cliff, over which the falls thunder, transforms the
Zambezi from a wide placid river to a ferocious torrent
cutting through a series of dramatic gorges.
Facing the Falls is another sheer wall of basalt, rising to
the same height and capped by mist-soaked rain forest. A
path along the edge of the forest provides the visitor who
is prepared to brave the tremendous spray with an
unparalleled series of views of the Falls.
