An aerial ride over Victoria Falls Zimbabwe (and partly over Zambia), known as The Flight of Angels. The falls are spectacular from any angle, but seeing them from the air gives a unique perspective of one of the 7 Natural Wonders of The World.
Victoria Falls is neither the widest nor the highest waterfall in the world (that's Iguazu Falls between Brazil and Argentina), but along with Niagara and Iguazu, Victoria Falls (aka Vic Falls) is one of the world's Big 3 waterfalls. At full flow, it is the largest continuous curtain of water in the world. Also known as Mosi Oa Tunya, translated as The Smoke That Thunders, the force of the water hitting the bottom of the 110 metre high chasm, can generate a cloud of spray 300 metres high that can be seen from many miles away. David Livingstone, who viewed the falls in 1855 later wrote that "scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by Angels in their flight".
A video was published by the Guardian News in December 2019 ( • Victoria Falls shrinks... ) with a story that Victoria Falls is drying up. The water level rises and falls seasonally according to rainfall in the Zambezi River catchment areas, some years it's lower, and others higher. The Guardian apparently has a climate change agenda, and that's all for the good, but badly researched, sensational, and entirely untrue articles like theirs can, and did, do a lot of damage to local businesses large and small that rely on tourism.
Watch this video, shot in February 2020, and tell me if this looks like a waterfall that's drying up!

My passion is to travel, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have done my share of exploring the world, camera in hand. I'm a travel fanatic, keen angler, photographer, videographer and occasional travel writer. With a particular weakness for road trips in the great open spaces of Africa, and exploring tropical Indian Ocean Islands. But actually, I'm a fan of anywhere that I haven’t yet been, wherever that might be.
