Witnessing Victoria Falls in full flow is nothing short of breathtaking! The sheer power of the Zambezi River cascading over the massive cliff face is a sight that leaves you in awe. The thunderous roar of the water, aptly earning its local name 'The Smoke that Thunders', fills the air with raw energy. Watching tons of water plummet 108 meters into the gorge below is a humbling experience. The spray rises like a misty veil, creating magical rainbows that dance in the sunlight. It's nature's own magnificent spectacle, reminding us of the incredible forces that shape our world. 🎥 This footage was captured 2 days ago. #VictoriaFalls #Wondersoftheworld #travelgram Africa Albida Tourism Victoria Falls Safari Lodge
