Ready to feel your stomach drop without leaving the comfort of your own couch?
Then take a plunge over one of the world’s largest waterfalls, straddling the borders of Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls.
The falls create clouds that can be seen from more than 10 miles away – earning the site its original Kololo name, Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning “the smoke that thunders.” (It was given the decidedly less poetic name of Victoria Falls by explorer David Livingstone in the 19th century.) The misty clime is so damp that it creates its own rain-forest like ecosystem nearby, replete with mahogany, fig and palm trees.
