VICTORIA FALLS

A wonder of the natural world, Victoria Falls known as Mosi oa Tunya (the smoke that thunders) - were named by explorer David Livingstone in 1855 after his queen. At 1708 metres wide and with drops of up to 107m into the gorge below, the mighty Zambezi river plunges at an average rate of 550,000 cubic metres every minute, making this the world's largest curtain of water.
