Victoria Falls [Mosi-oa-Tunya] “ the smoke that thunders”

One of the seven natural wonders of the world. The rare taita falcon and black eagle breed in the Batoka Gorge. The Falls have a width of over 1,7 km, plunging some 70-108 metres into the gorge below at the rate of 550 million litres per minute during the high-water season. Dr. David Livingstone (1813-1873), Scottish doctor and missionary, also a pioneer for the abolition of the slave trade, discovered the waterfall on his voyage in Africa. He was popular among the native tribes in Africa. It was named after Queen Victoria.
