Victoria Falls



Victoria Falls is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. This waterfall is located on the Zambezi River, which at this point forms the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. This waterfall has a width of approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), with a height of 128m (420 feet).

 

David Livingstone, Scottish explorer, visited the lake in 1855 and named it the name of Queen Victoria, while its local name is Mosi-oa-Tunya, "thundering smoke." This waterfall is part of two national parks, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia and Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe, and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This waterfall is a major tourist attraction in South Africa.


really beautiful right? which interestingly there is a place known as The Devil's Swimming Pool, as its name pool is believed to be the most dangerous pool in the world, but not as much penunggunya but because of the location of the pool itself.

 

There lies the swimming pool right on the edge of the edge of the falls. This pond formed by a row of natural coral that sticking to the right on the edge and forming an overdraft. well if you want to swim here must be wary not to get complacent or agan2 all going to immediately look in the angel of death, because it was so close to the lip of the waterfall.
