Victoria Falls, known as “Mosi-oa-Tunya” or “The Smoke That Thunders,” was first documented by European explorer David Livingstone in 1855, who named it after Queen Victoria. It forms the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia on the Zambezi river.
We took about 2 hours to walk through the rainforest along the edge of the Falls stopping at 24 viewpoints along the way,
The paths were quite slippery from the mist which turned to rain at certain points.
Victoria Falls is classified as the largest based on its combined width of 1,708 meters (5,604 ft) and height of 108 meters (354 ft), resulting in the world’s largest sheet of falling water.
The bridge connecting Zimbabwe with Zambia was built in 1905 and includes a railway. The vision was to connect Cairo to Cape Town by rail.
When you straddle the border on the bridge, it is called doing the “Zim-Zam” 🙂
