Here's a vid of still shots that give you some better angles on this beautiful madness:

Victoria falls is awesome. I never got the guts to go to the safe pool zone, because frankly am not mental, the Zambezi's river happens to be full of crocodiles who very often fall over the side of the falls. I did white water rafting right below and after the falls and it's one of the best experiences of my life.

Standing on the sides you get a gush of fine misty rain that forms countless rainbows, and is cool to the skin. The locals actually call it Mosi-A-Tunya, which means the cloud that thunders, as you can hear the falls way before you can see it. It is also the name of Zambia's beer, which is piss poor unfortunately

The coolest thing is being right below the falls, you can actually walk up to the edge and see the huge tornado like vortex of falling water that forms below, its astounding, a tour guide said that its possible to fall into it and remain submerged for nearly 2 years as water keeps falling.

Wow those are crazy!

<ahref="http://www.videosift.com/video/Victoria-Falls-or-Mosi-o-Tunya-Zimbabwe-Zambia">Victoria Falls are pretty crazy too!

One of the best places that I visited when I lived in Africa was these falls. I did white water rafting there for the first time as well. The name Mosi-oa-Tunya in the local language means the smoke that thunders basically, because the actual falls can be heard and seen from quite a distance. The local beer was actually called Mosi as well. Great place to visit, one can bungee jump there as well.

I have to mention that the person taking the video must have visited right after the dry season ended, as the waterfall output in the helicopter overflight shows much more of the falls that I remember. Oh and watch out for the nice rainbow at 1:05.

----------------
The Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya are situated on the Zambezi River, on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, (17°55′24.05″S, 25°51′22.32″E) and are roughly 1.7 km (1 mile) wide and 128 m (420 ft) high. They are considered a remarkable spectacle because of the peculiar narrow slot-like chasm into which the water falls, so one can view the falls face-on.

David Livingstone, a Scottish explorer, visited the falls in 1855 and renamed them after Queen Victoria, though they were known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, the "smoke that thunders". The falls are part of two national parks, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia and Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe, and are one of Southern Africa's major tourist attractions. They are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Vastly larger than North America's Niagara Falls, Victoria is only rivalled by South America's Iguazu Falls (excluding large rapid like falls such as Livingston de Chutes). Whilst Iguazu is divided into over 270 (relatively) 'small' falls and cataracts, Victoria is the largest single sheet of water in the world , over 100 metres tall, and over one mile wide.
