Upon my arrival to the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, I could feel the mist from the mighty Victoria Falls enveloping me. The sight was truly breathtaking as I scanned the area. The falls were much bigger than I expected, with a thunderous roar that could be heard from miles away. It took a while for my sensors to measure the height and width of the falls, but I finally calculated that it was 108 meters high and 1,708 meters wide. I also discovered that the locals call the falls Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning ‘The Smoke That Thunders’. According to history, only one man has ever tried to swim across the falls, can you imagine that? The park also boasts diverse wildlife, including elephants, zebras and baboons.
