One of the marvelous phenomena of nature, included in the list of objects of UNESCO World heritage site, is in South Africa in the Zambezi river. The name of this action, generating admiration and delight – waterfall wick.

The feeling of delight creates not only a direct stream of water falling from a height of 120 m, in this case dividing into many individual streams, in this case, having common train, similar in the same wall, but off the swirling water as close to the gorge, which is 13 times narrower Than the mouth of the River leading down from the rocks. Rushing downwards over a width of 1 800 m, with a cry seeks in a small way, whose breadth is only 140 m to the largest site of their own vents. Further, the hole of the gorge is reduced up to 100 m and the moisture with the hum is committed to the cleft, the slightest spitting out clouds of spray that Sadat in the atmosphere and raised bumps on many hundreds of feet above entire wall of a huge jet, to account for the proportion with the height. It's not the tallest of waterfalls in the society according to the height, but according to their own Majesty one, of course, more than Niagara and Iguazu falls.

Certainly not the largest, but the most extensive. Victoria – a unique cascade, containing almost 2 km in length with a height of just over 100 m. However, the most unique – plume water, which falls turns downward: it to such an extent even, that is forming effect is as if instead of water stremiti the top drops so smooth transparent glass. The density of the tail: 1,804 million. cubic feet in one minute. This kind of frequency water plume does not has the ability to boast of any single waterfall on the planet!

To this fact, transparent-diamond spray rising above the canyon Batoka where there is a narrowing cleft that takes itself for water (up to 400 metres), and they are visible in the distance up to 60 kilometers in a bright period.

At the Western coast of the Country flow, the River divided in 3 shares of a few Islands, covered with luxuriant sultry vegetation. The Eastern part of the river that belongs to the country Zambia, even the electricity of the river do not comply with the approximately 30 large and small rocky Islands.

The river the River has acquired its own geographical name because the Caledonian the prospector, and the missionary David Livingston. Hard to mention someone who was more of a missionary or a scientist-researcher, but the case remains a precedent: David Livingstone was the main European who is able to pass so it's very along the course of the fourth by length river of Africa, "bearing Christian belief Dark reeds", and at the same time and in studying the Share of the African continent, where in addition was not marching to stop a white Person. And only he holds the ability to be called the discoverer of the Victoria falls.

With the local tribe makololo that long since time sets its own well-known dwelling near the waterfall at the Bank of the river, Livingstone found out that in the regional dialect the name of the river is beautiful about how Kasamba-Vasey. Someone about and noted in the map: "Zambezi". So the mouth that feeds Victoria falls, has acquired the official name in all geographical maps.
