Zambia and Zimbabwe share on their border one of Africa’s natural wonders, the Victoria Falls, whose splendour always charms tourists.
Declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 1989, the Victoria Falls are about 1.7 kilometres wide and 108 meters high.
This natural miracle is also known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, translated ‘the smoke that thunders’ due to the ferocious sound of the water falling and running, while some nine hundred and thirty five million cubic meters per second plummet over the edge.
Victoria Falls is almost twice as large as the Niagara Falls in Canada and the United States.
