Zambezi, Africa

Zambezi, Africa

The Zambezi is the fourth longest river in Africa, running 2,200 miles from northwestern Zambia through Angola, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique before emptying into the Indian Ocean. It also happens to be home to some of the largest—and most beautiful—waterfalls in the world, Victoria Falls, located between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The waterfalls' height (350 ft) and collective width (5,700 ft) create such a powerful crash at the base that it is called "the smoke that thunders."
