Victoria Falls is situated on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia,

somewhere in the middle of the Zambezi River flow –

it is one of the biggest rivers in Africa.

On the right bank of Victoria the height of the waterfall is 80 meters.

In the center it is 108 meters.

That is why it is the only waterfall in the world that is more than 100 meters high and

over one kilometer wide at the same time.

The noise from the waterfall is heard 40 km away.

Its splashes and fog rise 400 meters above as a cloud that looks like smoke from afar.

In 1989 the Waterfall was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

All other tribes that settled in these places bowed to the power and greatness of the Waterfall:

in the language of several African ethnic groups it is called "The Smoke that Thunders".

The present name of the Waterfall was given by a Scottish doctor and missionary David

Livingstone: he is believed to be the first to have discovered it in 1855.

They say that this true citizen of Britain was overwhelmed by its beauty and said:

"This is the dust from the wings of angels. God save the Queen".

Thus the Waterfall was named after the Queen of Britain of those days – Victoria.

After the waterfall the river flows through narrow sharp rifts with many turns and falls

into a big lake called "The Boiling Pot": many vortexes make it look like boiling.

Below the Boiling Pot there is a 200-meter long bridge in the form of an arc.

It was built in the beginning of the XX century

and still remains the only railway between Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The territory around the Waterfall has been inhabited 3 million years ago

by representatives of the Homo genus – Homo habilis Australopithecus ("Handy man").

There is a natural mountain basin with still water in the top point of Victoria.

From September to December, when the water level is low, you can swim here.

It is very scary to stand on the edge of the abyss, but the name "Devils Pool" was

given to it for another reason: according to the legends, in ancient times human sacrifices

took place here.

In rainy season the flow in the Waterfall amounts to 9100 m3/s.

During the drought it shortens to a couple of small streams.

Small drops of water that fly in the air bend sunrays and create rainbows.

At the same time Victoria is famous for its unusual rainbows: when the Moon is full the

sunrays, reflected from the Moon, fall on these drops of water.
