An African Adventure

At the edge of Victoria Falls, Zambia, held in place by the guide. Another step and it’s a sheer drop ... twice the height of Niagra Falls. It looks like I am sprouting wings and getting ready to fly. The Victoria Falls is 1.74 kms wide with about 1.2 km on the Zambian side and the rest on the Zimbabwean side. It is 111 mtrs high. It is impossible to see the falls in one

stretch, except as an aerial view. The Lozi speaking people call Victoria Falls Mosi-Oa-Tunya, while the Tonga speaking call it Shungu Namutitima. Both translate to “the smoke that thunders”.
