The incredibly loud roar of the Zambezi River as it rushes over the cliffs to form the Victoria Falls is guaranteed to take your breath away. The falls are nicknamed Mosi-oa-Tunya; which means 'The smoke that thunders', by the locals, due to the billowing clouds of mist that rise up and drench everything and everyone in its reach when the river is in flood,the spray becomes alot about 800 meters high such that you can even could see the spray all the way from the Zambian town of Livingstone,as you get close to the to Victoria Falls. The full width of the Zambezi seems to drop off the edge of the Earth, falling more than 350 feet or about 100 meters into a churning chasm that has been carved out by the river over thousands of years. Despite having umbrellas or rain coats, you still can get soaked and it is quite slippery on trails around the waterfall,this is how ever the best thing one can ever experience...its just amazing.
