Described by the Kololo tribe living in the area in the 1800's as "Mosi-oa-Tunya" - "the Smoke that Thunders" and in more modern terms as "the greatest known curtain of falling water", Victoria Falls are a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River, bordering Zambia and Zimbabwe.Columns of spray can be seen from miles away as the water plummets over an edge spanning nearly two kilometers into a deep gorge 100 meters below. The wide basalt cliff, over which the falls thunder, transforms the Zambezi from a wide placid river to a ferocious torrent cutting through a series of dramatic gorges.To fully appreciate the incredible size of the Falls and the awesome power of the water, one must see it from the air. Micro-light and helicopter flights are available transporting you from the wide tranquil upper Zambezi to over the Falls- a breathtaking and unforgettable sight to remember.
