Out of the Jurisdiction: Victoria Falls

After Botswana, we went for two days to the place where Zambia and Zimbabwe
meet on the Zambezi River. One day we visited Victoria Falls.

Victoria Falls is neither the tallest nor the widest in the world, but it is classified as the biggest because of the overall volume of water that flows over the falls.

The indigenous name for the falls is Mosi-oa-Tunya, "the smoke that thunders." When flows are normal, the water falls with such force that sprays spread over the whole area.

We visited during a major drought that is affecting all of southern Africa. (It is caused by the same El Nino that is wreaking havoc with much of the world's weather.) As a result, there was no water at all on the Zambia side of the falls and the flow on the Zimbabwe side was greatly reduced.
Still, it is a most impressive sight.
