Victoria Falls

The famous Victoria Falls on the

Zambeze River. Located on the

border between Zambia and

Zimbabwe, in the Livingstone district

of Zambia and the Hwange district of

Zimbabwe. They are 1.7 km wide and

108 metres high, an extraordinary

spectacle.Water dropping into a

narrow and very deep abiss.

David Livingstone, visited the Falls in

1855 and named them in honour of

Queen Victoria. Locally they are still

called “Mosi-oa-Tunya”, which means

the smoke that thunders.

It is one of the greatest tourist atractions

on the african continent.

In 1989 UNESCO declared these falls a

Humanity Heritage Site, covering a

protected area of 8,780 hectares.

A child on the edge of an abiss !!!

o This is called “The Devil's Pool”, a natural

swimming pool formed in the rocks just above

the 108 metre high Victoria Falls!!!

Challenging danger!

The bravest ones stand on the very

edge to get their photos taken!

From September to December, due to low water levels,

it is safe to swim on the edge of this waterfall.

Jumping into the pool!

Unforgetable!!!!

Curiosity overcomes fear...

Daring!!!

Taking original photos!!

Such emotion...

And euphoria...

An adrenalin discharge and yell of

excitament at the edge of the abiss!!!

Well? Did that excite you?
