Livingstone, Zambia
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
I searched through the Internet about some wonders in Africa and I found out this extraordinary waterfall, Victoria Falls which makes Africa the famous place for tourist to visit.
Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. David Livingstone a Scottish explorer is believed to have been the first European to view the Victoria Falls. and this is the name in use in Zimbabwe. The older, indigenous name of Mosi-oa-Tunya is the name in official use in Zambia. The World Heritage List recognises both names. While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, it is claimed to be the largest. If you're planning a trip to Southern Africa you simply have to witness this mile-long curtain of falling water.
Getting to Victoria:
By Road
From Zimbabwe: Cross the border at the town of Victoria Falls over the famous Victoria Falls Bridge, carry straight on this road for about 7 miles (11 kms).
From Botswana: Cross the border at Kazungula by ferry, and continue east for about 37 miles (60 kms).
From Lusaka: Livingstone is 290 miles (470 kms). Take the southbound Kafue Road out of Lusaka and just after the Kafue River Bridge, turn right towards Mazabuka. This road leads straight to Livingstone.
