Fans of practicing adventure sports are lucky enough to be able to travel around the world and discover different places while enjoying their hobby.
Have you ever thought what it would be like to travel to the end of the world? Victoria Falls is not, but anyone wouldn't think so after seeing images like this...
Victoria Falls are located between Zambia and Zimbabwe. If we had to look for a word to define them, it would probably be "spectacular." Because? We have to keep in mind that it is a true natural paradise, forming part of two national parks: Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park (Zambia) and Victoria Falls National Park (Zimbawe).
The falls are approximately 1.7 km wide and about 108 meters high. How much water do you imagine flowing through them every second? Nothing more and nothing less... than a flow of one million liters of water per second!!! Between the months of March and May, which is when the rainy season coincides, it can reach 5 million water per second.
The rainy season includes the months between November and April (with flooding in February and May), so if you visit during this season, you will not be able to swim in the falls.
Do you know what the name the natives give to the falls? "The smoke that thunders". The reason? The water spray, when falling, will reach between 400 meters and, sometimes, 800. For this reason, you should always carry a raincoat, although keep in mind that in the African heat, you will quickly be dry.
What extreme sports can be practiced in Victoria Falls?
Logically, in every place in the world, we will find at least one adventure sport to practice, don't you think? As could not be less then, in Zimbabwe and Zambia, too.
- Helicopter flight. You will live one of the most incredible experiences you can imagine, because there is nothing better than seeing the falls from the highest. The aerial landscapes are most spectacular.
- Bungee jumping. Without a doubt, this activity is ideal for releasing full adrenaline and enjoying your free time like never before. Throw yourself into the void and in just a few seconds You will be able to experience a series of sensations that you have rarely experienced. Do you dare to jump?
- Rafting. Who hasn't ever wanted to slide down the rapids of a river? The waters of the Zambece have a grade V, making it extremely difficult and intended only for true adventurers in search of strong emotions.
What is clear is that if there is a place to go once in your life, this is the best one. Also, if you go in the dry season you can bathe in the waterfalls, which is not a waste. Are you up for it?
