Victoria Falls

http://www.kaapstad.org/Kaapstad%20English/Heli%20Victoria%20Falls.jpgVictoria Falls is possibly the largest single-enity waterfalls in the world. The fall itself if basically where the mighty Zambezi River drops its entire width about 1.7 km  or just over a mile. We couldn't go near the fall so we had to take a helicopter and fly to see it. It was a very scary scene.The annual mean volume is said to be just over 1000 cubic meters per second or 38 000 cubic ft per second. Mist generated by the falls can be seen or felt from several kilometers away, and we could prove to that fact because we were able to see the mist from as far away as living stone, which was some 11km from the falls.
