"The smoke that thunders" is the meaning of the original name of the awesome falls, in the Kololo/Lozi language. This is it towards the end of the dry season, and even then the air was full of spray from the cascading water, with a continuous roar as it hit the rocks below.

A scene now long changed, the locomotive is no longer at the museum of science and industry and Granada Tv also long gone
A second picture of the Victoria waterfalls from the Zambian side. Mosi oa Tunya (The smoke that Thunders) is where the Zambezi river plummets over a sheer cliff wall spanning more than 1676m and drops approximately 100m in places down to the gorge below. An awesome sight if you ever get a chance to see it.
"Donnernder Rauch". Dieser Wasserfall wurde angeblich von Livingstone, einem britischen Reisenden entdeckt. Dabei musste er gar nicht entdeckt werden. Die Stämme der Region kannten ihn schon längst. Livingstone hätte nur fragen müssen, was es da gibt und wie es heißt. Er ignorierte die Kultur der lokalen Afrikaner und gab dem Wasserfall den Namen "Victoria-Falls" (nach seiner britischen Königin). Den Namen schreiben viele heute noch in ihre Weltkarten. Mosi-oa-Tunya ("donnernder Rauch") ist wohl der schönere Name. Er würdigt das Naturschauspiel mehr als die britische Umbenennung.

Mosi-oa-Tunya, or "The smoke that thunders" is the original name for Vic Falls in the Sotho language and indeed quite fitting for this massive and very impressive wonder of nature.

Victoria Falls from a helicopter. The 12 min flip over the Vic Falls was an awesome experience, I really enjoyed it.
