Victoria Falls Travel Guide :

Victoria Falls is the largest water fall in the world as it is 1 708 meters wide, making it the largest curtain of water in the world. It drops between 90m and 107m into the Zambezi Gorge and an average of 550,000 cubic meters of water plummet over the edge every minute. The falls and the surrounding area have been declared National Parks and a World Heritage Site, that’s why the area is preserved from excessive commercialization. Mosi-oa-tanyia is the old name of Victoria Falls, which means "the Smoke that Thunders", illustrating the powerful forces of Victoria Falls. A number of Safaris pass through Victoria Falls. Flights to Victoria Falls have many other attractions to offer like; Zambezi River, Victoria Falls National Park, Knife Edge Bridge, and Victoria Falls Museum.

Zambezi River:

The Great Victoria Falls thunders over the wide basalt cliff, and transform the Zambezi River from a wide placid river to a ferocious torrent cutting through a series of dramatic gorges. It is the fourth-longest river in Africa, and the largest flowing into the Indian Ocean from Africa. The length of Zambezi River is 3,540 km. The area of its basin is 1,390,000 km² slightly less than half that of the River Nile. The river supports large populations of many animals like; Hippopotamuses, crocodiles, Monitor lizards, heron, pelican, egret and African Fish Eagle.

Victoria Falls National Park:

The Victoria Falls National Park in north-western Zimbabwe protects the south and east bank of the Zambezi River. Some say this park affords the best vantage point of the falls. Flights to Victoria Falls give you chance of visiting Victoria National Park, which contains abundant wildlife including sizable populations of elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, and a variety of antelope, and is also is characterized by a flourishing rainforest with palms, liana vines and magnificent trees. This national park is open throughout the year for visitors. It is not just a beautiful sight, but the experience is untarnished by the sounds of helicopters and micro lights, which can be something of a nuisance during the day.

Victoria Falls Museum:

Livingstone Museum is generally known as Victoria Falls Museums. It is said that Livingstone may have been the first white man to view the Victoria Falls. Much of this Stone Age evidence is on-site in the Livingstone Museum. The archaeological exhibits are augmented with historical artifacts, from ancient Tonga drums, to black-and-white photographs from the turn of the 20th century, as well as memorable relating to Livingstone, the man who put the falls on the world map in Victoria Falls Museum.
