아름답고 놀라운 Victoria 폭포

In Zambia, the sights of things, both in Ukraine with the roads, they are, as it were, and has at the same time and they do not. Well, 

God bless her with their homeland, back to Africa. 

So, for me, the most important thing in Zambia is the Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River. 

The river is famous for its deadly statistics rather local behemoths these statistics is always kept in good shape. 

As for their family - is first and foremost, and for it they will put any Zambian skinny. 

Well this Behemoth Cosa Nostra. Such is the sad statistics, most people are not killed by crocodiles and hippos from. 

And if globally, the locals die mostly from diseases and anti sanitation. 

Joke, live in thatched tents without electricity water and hospitals. stone Age. 

But the whole world is looking for water on Mars, and it spends billions of dollars. 

But in Africa, water - no one needs, here on Mars is yes, it is the task number one. 

But we're not talking about that, so let's return to nature.
I believe, quite reasonably decided not to support these statistics. 

The story we will focus on the most beautiful and amazing waterfalls of the planet Earth. 

Is considered one of the wonders of the world. And I try to tell you why.

Victoria Falls is unique. And it is unique in its size. Its width, you just think about it, 1,800 meters! 

Yes, rare bird flies to the middle Dnieper River Zambezi. 

The height of 110 meters, which is also in itself impressive. 

You can quite happily go down to the foot of the Statue of Liberty, a waterfall, and it will not even look out. 

Opened Falls David Livingstone in 1855 and named it in honor of the queen, well, who would somnevalsya.

On wrote about the waterfall: "No one can compare with the beauty of anything seen in England.

It had never before seen the eyes of Europeans.

 " So named in honor of the queen, they say look at the queen and represent a waterfall!
Local people despise this title and believes that an urgent need to rename the old "Gremyashchy Smoke» ( «Mosi-oa-Tunya »). 

As much as I in part agree with them, coz if you come to a waterfall, for example, in November-January, then you just hear it 

"Gremyashchy smoke", but the waterfall itself, you will not see. 

In the rainy season the waterfall runs of up to 10,000 cubic meters of water per second and about 500 million liters per minute

Another interesting feature of the Victoria Falls location - this is what he and the border separating the two powers.

Zambia and Zimbabwe. A bridge is a customs control. Incidentally there is bungee exactly in the middle of the bridge.

I unfortunately did not jump, as his wife gave the word that I will not do it. 

And if you think about the fact that the attraction is in the neutral zone, in case of emergency, neither party will not take the responsibility.)

In September, shallow waterfall, as the dry season, it is both good and bad at the same time. 

On the one hand you can see all the greatness, depth, width, height. And on the other - it is impossible to feel the power of the elements. 

But, as I said, when most of the water, people come here just to listen to the roar of the water and watch the fog.

In order to experience the height of the note at the bottom of the boat for rafting.

People on the other side, arrived in Zimbabwe, they admire his personal, Zimbabwean part of the waterfall. Residents Zambia 

contemptuous of their neighbors consider them poor and backward country. 

When I made this photograph, a local resident came up and started talking not cunning: "Do you see those people? 

They come to the edge of the cliff, there are no fences, and we, in a civilized Zambia, there is! What to take with them ... 

wild men "philosophized prosperous Zambian resident.
By the way the local market saw Zimbabwe bills (already souvenirs) face value of 50 billion. 

So the bottom line than the local people decided that's enough for them! We will live freely and in a new way. 

Kicked out of the country all the whites who did not, fed behemoths, they were not opposed. 

After a while, the local people come to the logical conclusion that the beating of the drum can not eat. 

Inflation takes on the dimensions and volumes, which even educated local can not imagine! 

Therefore, urgent, white back and solemnly swore that feed the hippos will be exclusively bribery and idlers. 

Since then, the situation has leveled off a bit. In Zambia, the situation is a little better!

Here is the dry season in Zambia! almost our steppe, only occasionally are the elephants!

In order to fully enjoy the majesty of the falls, you have to shell out 160 American money forever. 

But believe me, it's worth it, and quite rightly. If I talked on the beauty of South Africa. 

Flying over Cape Town the alternative was there! or helicopter, or Table Mountain. 

There is no alternative to none, except that the local eagle catching and elicit as it is beautiful! 

But you run into a wall of misunderstanding.
A little advice: If you give a dollar a person who accompanies you to the dragonfly, then in return get a seat near the pilot,

 if the $ 2 - a pilot's seat, $ 3 - a helicopter ... and so on.

I decided that the control of the helicopter and shoot hard, so I gave the dollar.

Left in the picture the hotel where I was staying. Very convenient location, walk to the waterfall is completely calm,

 a hundred times a day. The road leading to the border bridge now the helicopter is over the state of Zimbabwe.

On the left in the frame, the same area without barriers, for which a local told me. In this picture it is clear at this point is now the most water.

But in the rainy season just can not see it.

In this photo you can see all fully 2km waterfall.

All the water goes under the bridge, a pretty narrow passage.

And here is the same bungee, which is exactly in the middle of the bridge, waiting for desperate tourists eh still regret ...
way too common rafting

That is the crater in which attracts millions of cubic meters of water

And then, zigzagging away in the direction of Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana and Mozambique, which empties into the Indian Ocean

The greatness of the river and the waterfall can not be overemphasized. This is truly the greatest miracle of nature. I repeat and will repeat, what makes nature's magic, is not subject to an understanding.
