Victoria Falls

Alright class, here we landed at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. The Victoria falls is 1,708 meters wide and is the largest curtain of water in the world. An amazing 550,000 cubic meters of water plummet over the edge every minute (source 7).

National ParksOpen to visitors throughout the year, the Victoria Falls National Park in north-western Zimbabwe protects the south and east bank of the Zambezi River. It covers 23.4 km² from the larger Zambezi National Park about 6 km above the falls to about 12 km below the falls. (source 7)
