The Victoria Falls - Zambia Tourism

Victoria Falls presents a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River, forming the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It was described by the Kololo tribe living in the area in the 1800’s as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ – ‘The Smoke that Thunders’. In more modern terms Victoria Falls is known as the greatest curtain of falling water in the world.



Columns of spray can be seen from miles away as, at the height of the rainy season, more than five hundred million cubic meters of water per minute plummet over the edge, over a width of nearly two kilometres, into a gorge over one hundred meters below.



The wide, basalt cliff over which the falls thunder, transforms the Zambezi from a placid river into a ferocious torrent cutting through a series of dramatic gorges.



Facing the Falls is another sheer wall of basalt, rising to the same height, and capped by mist-soaked rainforest. A path along the edge of the forest provides the visitor prepared to brave the tremendous spray, with an unparalleled series of views of the Falls.



One special vantage point is across the Knife-edge Bridge, where visitors can have the finest view of the Eastern Cataract and the Main Falls as well as the Boiling Pot, where the river turns and heads down the Batoka Gorge. Other vantage points include the Falls Bridge, Devils Pool and the Lookout Tree, both of which command panoramic views across the Main Falls.

Secret Creatures: African Wild Cat

Six thousand years ago Egyptians domesticated the African Wild Cat to control mice and rats raiding granaries. From these tamed animals, the domestic cat was bred. Although it is an agile tree climber, this cat spends most of its time on the ground.

Giraffe Fight in the Luangwa Rift Valley

Giraffe necking. Generally, it is believed that male giraffes use their necks as weapons in fights. This behaviour is called Necking and is used to establish dominance and males that win necking fights have greater access to females and are able to reproduce and propagate their genes.

Masai Giraffe conservation in South Luangwa National Park
Formerly known as Thornicroft’s giraffe (G. c. thornicrofti), the giraffe in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley has recently been found to be genetically identical with Masai giraffe (G. tippelskirchi). However, these giraffes are a unique and isolated giraffe population, yet their habitat is impacted by human encroachment, poaching and predation.

Free Diver Up Close With Large School of Hammerhead Sharks

Free Diver Up Close With Large School of Hammerhead Sharks (^^^)

Aquavision Contributor Brod Whittaker was filming Hammerheads when they changed direction and he found himself in the middle of a large school of predatory Sharks.



Unlike most sharks, hammerheads usually swim in schools during the day, becoming solitary hunters at night. Some of these schools can be found near Malpelo Island in Colombia, Cocos Island off Costa Rica, and near Molokai in Hawaii. Large schools are also seen in the waters off southern and eastern Africa.

Adventure Africa - Seven Cow Shark Diving

KELP FOREST DIVING AT ITS BEST
The Seven Gill Cow Shark, or Spotted Cow Shark, is a prehistoric predator and can be found roaming kelp forests. It is a social feeder and can be observed in large groups of up to 18 individuals. The size of the sharks ranges from 1 to 3 metres, with the females generally larger than the males. Distinctive features include their seven-gill slits and the absence of the front dorsal fin.

The dive takes place at Pyramid Rock in False Bay.The site is one of the few places in the world where your chances of encountering this rarely seen shark are high and we may encounter a variety of other small shark species as well. A thick kelp forest lines the channel making this the shark’s ideal habitat.

Vultures: Kings of the Dead | WILD NATURE

EATER OF THE DEAD The only land-based vertebrates that can thrive solely on scavenging, vultures are crucial to ecosystem balance. Because they can quickly devour large amounts of flesh and their stomach acids neutralise pathogens, vultures may help limit the spread of bacteria and diseases such as anthrax and rabies. But their numbers have been plummeting worldwide, with several populations at risk of collapse. #Birds
