Victoria Water falls is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the
world. The waterfall is located on the Zambezi River, which at present forms
the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. This waterfall has a width of about 1 mile (1.7 km), with a
height of 128M (420 feet).
David Livingstone, Scottish explorer, visited this waterfall in 1855 and
named it the name of Queen Victoria, while its local name is Mosi-oa-Tunya the meaning is "thundering smoke." This waterfall is part of two national parks: Mosi-oa-Tunya
National Park in Zambia and Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe, and also
a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This waterfall is a major tourist attraction in
South Africa.Attractive again there is a place known as The Devil's Swimming
Pool, a swimming pool as its name is believed to be the world's most dangerous
pool not because a lot of the ghost but because of the
location of the pool itself.
The
location of this pool are right on the edge of the waterfall. This pool is
formed by a row of natural rock sticking up reply right on the edge and form
the overdraft.Well if you want to swim here must be alert being so close to
the lip of the waterfall.
For
those who like a challenge, swim in the Devil's Pool is the right choice.
Imagine, lying on the edge of Victoria Falls, the world's largest waterfall. Rows
of natural reefs that appear right on the edge and the recess at the end of the
waterfall can be a place to swim when the water is shallow and swift.Usually during
September to December. At times like this, the swimmers can even look into the
abyss of the end of the falls without fear of being dragged swift water.
Tourist spot located on the side
of Zambia is flooded with tourists each year who want to see the waterfall base
of the peak.Some even dare to allow themselves to be drawn up to the lip of the
rapids waterfall before it got stuck because of blocked reefs. Below them, as
far as 128 meters,
