A Great Place You Must Visit in Africa Before You Die - Pictures

The grandiose Victoria Falls are located on the mighty Zambezi River, at the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. These waterfalls are the largest moving body of water on Earth, and photos cannot do them justice – you have to be there to see them for yourself! The locals call them “Mosi-oa-Tunya”, which means the “smoke that thunders” – an apt description for the columns of spray that can be seen and heard from miles away. The name by which it is known globally was given by the noted explorer and missionary Dr. David Livingstone, who named the Falls after Queen Victoria during a visit in 1855.




The Victoria Falls are an unmissable place to visit in Africa because of their unusual form and their sheer size alone - but as a bonus, there is also a wide variety of wildlife and many adventure activities to be enjoyed nearby. On the Zambian side of the Falls, it is perfectly possible to swim in relative safety in the natural pools at the top of the falls - but you will need nerves of steel!
