Did You Know?
Victoria Falls drops about 108 metres across a 1,700-metre width, producing the largest single sheet of falling water on Earth. Its local name, Mosi-oa-Tunya, means the smoke that thunders; the spray is visible from 50 km away.
The clock: Livingstone keeps UTC+2, and Zimbabwe on the far side of the bridge keeps the same — the falls are one border where nobody has to change a watch.
