While visiting Victoria Falls, we stayed at the Zambezi Sun Hotel.  Mother's favorite animal is a frequent visitor to the hotel grounds. I captured this picture just behind our hotel room.

Mom and Victoria Falls from the Zimbabwe side looking towards Zambia.

On both the Zambia and Zimbabwean sides of the falls are statues of Dr. David Livingstone. He was the first European to see the falls in 1855. Still known by its native name "Mosi-oa-tunya" (The smoke that thunders), Livingstone named the falls after Queen Victoria of England. He actually walked from Angola to Mozambique (West to East) transcontinentally across Africa. He died in northern Zambia May 1, 1873. His heart was buried there but his body is interred at Westminster Abbey.

Though Victoria Falls is neither the highest or widest falls in the world, it is considered the largest because it contains the largest sheet of falling water. 

This is portion of the Falls is called Devil's Catarat.

Mom was ready to go for a ride on these Zebras, but they can be pretty mean.

These guys wanted me to join their dance troupe. Maybe next year after I work on my abs. 

The Zambezi River is a mile wide when it hits the 1st gorge. This picture was taken from our flight into Zambia. You can see why it's called Mosi-oa-tunya.
