world, to say: “a scene so beautiful it must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight”. Known as “Mosi o a Thunya”

(the smoke that thunders), the Falls are one and a half times as wide and twice as high as Niagra Falls, and are a truly

awesome sight.The Zambian side of The Victoria Falls provides an entirely separate experience to its better-known

Zimbabwean counterpart. Situated in the 46-hectare Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Wildlife Park, the views are spectacular, you

can sidle right up to the falling water by walking down a track to the base of the falls following walkways perched over the

abyss.The other highlight of this region is the Zambezi River whose beauty and splendour lured early adventurers and

explorers. Still even today many modern day travellers are unable to resist the River’s magnetism as it provides countless

opportunities for adrenalin-packed water sports or incredible game and bird viewing.
