This is an amazing site located in between the border of Zambia and North of Zimbabwe along the Zambezi River. Although Victoria Falls is neither the widest nor the highest waterfall on Earth, this breathtaking waterfall occupies around 2 kilometer mile and is 354 feet high. It emits mist that is spotted by somebody about 20 kilometers away and hence it’s traditional “Mosi-oa Tunya” that simply means “thundering smoke”. It was named Victoria Falls by a Scottish explorer David Livingstone. He’s believed to have been the first person from Europe to visit Victoria Falls on 16 November 1855. By the end of the 90s around 300,000 visitors were seeing Victoria Falls each year, and it was expected to increase to a million or more in the next decade. However, today Victoria Falls has more visitors from Zimbabwe and Zambia than from other countries in the world. The waterfall is accessible by train and bus, and it’s rather cheap to reach, so why not visit this beautiful place this year?
