· Victoria Falls is on the Zambezi River, bordering Zambia and Zimbabwe in Africa.

· It forms the largest curtain of falling water on the planet and is one of the world's greatest natural spectacles and a must see when on safari in Africa

· Victoria Falls is called by the locals : ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ 'The Smoke that Thunders'

· Currently (March-2007) the Zambezi river is in full flood and the highest it's being since 1968, some 7 to 8 metres above nomal level.

· The Falls are 1690m wide and at the highest point it is 103m high (the average height is 92 meters)

. Devil's Cataract (left lower corner of the photo) in the Zimbabwe corner is the lowest point and hence has most water cascading over it.

· At peak flood (Feb/April), over 550 000 cubic metres of water per minute pass over the Falls.

· The spray can reach 1km high and can be seen over 30km away (I was still seeing it after 15-20 min the plane took off).

· Vic Falls is a World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Natural Wonders...
