Victoria Falls is located in Zimbabwe and Zambia Africa. It it the largest sheet of falling water.
This is a small section of the falls. There were 15 different outlooks. As you get to the 15th outlook the spray of water was so great I was completely drenched.
This was a challenging photo. I was not able to bring my big tripod because of small plane weight constraints so I brought my travel Joby tripod and had to fix it to a bush while trying to hurry before my camera lens was totally wet. :)
Waterfalls change from morning till night. I went one day and the water fall looked like above and you could see them clearly. I went the next day and there was sun beaming on the mist and you could not see a thing. Advice go more than once if you don't hit it right!
There were rainbows everywhere.
One of the greatest attractions in Africa and one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world, Victoria Falls is located in Victoria Falls National Park on the Zambezi River. The Zambezi River is the fourth largest river in Africa, it also defines the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Victoria Falls is the only waterfall in the world with a length of more than a kilometre and a height of more than hundred metres. It is considered to be the largest fall in the world.
The noise of Victoria Falls can be heard from a distance of 40 kilometers, while the spray and mist from the falling water is rising to a height of over 400 meters and can be seen from a distance of 50 kilometers. Small wonder that the local tribes used to call the waterfall Mosi-ao-Tunya “The smoke that thunders”.

Rarely am I in awe, but today's breathtaking views of Victoria Falls left me in complete amazement. This trip was foiled by COVID in 2021, so it is beyond-gratifying to finally visit this Natural Wonder of the World.
Mosi-oa-Tunya or "Thundering Smoke" according to the Lozi. Shungu Namutitima, "Boiling Water” to the Tonga. I just call it amazing.
