Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls -"The Smoke That Thunders" is a waterfall on the Zambezi River in southern Africa, which provides habitat for several unique species of plants and animals. It is one of the world's largest waterfalls, with a width of 5,604 ft.
While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, the Victoria Falls are classified the largest, based on its combined width of 5,604 ft and height of 354 ft, resulting in the world's largest sheet of falling water.
It is located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It’s like Niagara where half is in Canada and the other is in the United States.
The Victoria Falls are roughly twice the height of Niagara Falls and more than twice its width.
The “smoke” (mist from the falls spraying in the air) allows for lush vegetation growth. A small tropical rainforest surrounds the falls which is stark contrast to nearly zero vegetation in the rest of the area.
Whose the doctor they told you to go see
David Livingston-In March 1858 Livingstone embarked upon a government-backed expedition to introduce commerce, civilization, and Christianity to the lands of Zambezi River and Lake Malawi. The expedition vastly increased geographical knowledge but was otherwise a disaster. His wife Mary’s death on the Zambezi in 1862, withdrawal from Malawi of the Universities Mission to Central Africa, and bad relations with most of his white colleagues left Livingstone’s reputation in tatters when he returned to Britain in 1864. But the Royal Geographical Society and a few loyal friends supported him and sent him back to Africa in 1866 to explore the headwaters of the Nile, Congo, and Zambezi Rivers.
