Victoria Falls

Situated on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, this is the jaw-droppingly spectacular Victoria Falls.

The falls are known locally as “the smoke that thunders”, and you can certainly see why! There’s a bungee platform if you’re feeling brave, although this precarious bridge looks scary enough for me. You can also see some people at one of the viewing points at the cliff edge.

These incredible images have made it to Google Local as part of the National Geographic Megaflyover project.

Thanks to Nic for being the first person to submit this since the images got upgraded ;-)
