Victoria
Falls is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and for some people it's one of the
highlights of Africa. The falls have a drop of 108 m and stretch for 1.7 km.
David Livingstone
discovered the falls in 1855 and named this natural wonder after Queen
Victoria.
For views
it's better to be on the Zimbabwe side of the border. One can watch the falls
from safe viewpoints as well as directly from the edge of the cliff. Best views
are in (afternoon) sunshine, when one or two rainbows can be seen. If the Zambezi
carries too much water (rainy season) one sees less as all is covered in haze.

You can go
onto the bridge, but you need a permit, which doesn't even have your name on
it. Bungee-jumping on the bridge!
Some people
go for the natural pool on top of the falls
