Enye yeemvula zamanzi ezidalwe yendalo, yavulwa ngowe-1855, xa uDavid Livingston ehlola ingaphakathi le-Afrika. Kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba uBrithon onesibindi wabuhlonipha ilizwe kunye nabemi balo ngokuhlonipha, kwaye wayengumhenwa wokuhlonipha iinkokeli ezininzi zezizwe zaseAfrika. Umhambi uhlala ebiza izinto ezivulekileyo zeendawo zendawo. Imbono eyenziwe yenzelwe kuphela le mpopompo.
Impompo enkulu
Namhlanje iinqununu zeVictoria Falls ziyaziwa ngokufanayo: 17 ° 55'28 "intshona-ntshona kunye ne-25 ° 51'24" ukujika kwempuma.
Ngeli xesha le-Livingstone, abahlali bezinye izizwe bazi apho iVictoria Falls khona. Umhambi ngokwakhe wathola impompo ngengozi, xa ehamba esuka eMzantsi Afrika waya ngasentla ngeBhuananaland (eBotswana) waya eZambezi.
Oku kungabonakala kungaqhelekanga, kodwa u-Livingstone akazange akonwabe xa efumene ukufumanisa kwakhe, nangona elandelayo wachaza iVictoria Falls njengento enhle kangangokuba iimpendulo zokuvula zikholisa iingelosi. Ngowe-1855, ngaphambi kokuba umhambi angabonakali isampula sobuhle bemvelo, kodwa ngokoqobo umqobo ongenakunqandeka. Ukuphakama kweVictoria Falls kungekho ngaphantsi kwe-110 (ngokweminye imithombo eyi-120) imitha, kwaye ubude bungama-1657 emitha. Ukuphakama kwempompo yamanzi ngamaxesha angaphezulu kwama-2 ephakamileyo kunokuphakama kweNigodi Falls, kwaye amandla okugeleza kwamanzi mkhulu kangangokuba okwesibini idlula kwimpompo ukuya kuma-cubic 7,500 cubic meters. Udongxongo lwamanzi, abahamba ngezithulu abahamba ngezithulu kwaye belula ngokubhekiselele ekugqibeleni, babonakala behamba ukuya eludongeni, bekhusela entliziyweni yelizwe. Izicwangciso zikaDavide kwakukudala indlela yokuhamba kwintliziyo yeAfrika, wayesebenzile ngengqondo kwaye wayesekhetha i-plateau efanelekayo yokudala ukulungiswa kweendlela zokuhamba. Kodwa impompo enye yobukho bayo yawela zonke izicwangciso zomhambi.
Ngeenxa zonke
Indawo apho uVictoria ewela khona kukuqhekeka okukhulu kwinqanaba elenziwe kwi-sandstone ne-basalt. Ububanzi bokuqhekeka ngamamitha angama-30. Apho kukho i-sandstone kunye ne-basalt, ukutyunjwa kwakhiwa. I-Zambezi ngumlambo apho iVictoria iwa khona, ngeli nqanaba i-plateau ifinyelela ububanzi beemitha ezimbini. Umlambo ufinyelela emaphethelweni emimangxuma kwaye idilika elasha kunye nesantya esinqabileyo kunye namandla. Uxinzelelo lwamanzi, olufikelela enyawo lwempompo, lukhuphukela phezulu ngelifu lefrayiti.
Kwiindawo zamagrafu, imipuphu, iindlovu kunye nemigodi emhlophe, ebhalwe kwiBhuku eliBomvu, phila. Abantu basekuhlaleni banemigodi yamanzi egama linguChongguet, leyo yindawo ye-rainbow: imilambo yamanzi ihlotshiswe ngamabhobho amabini.
Namhlanje, ewa, kukho iVictoria Falls kunye neendawo zokugcina indawo, okusukela ngo-1952 ithathwa njengepaki kazwelonke.
Imangalisayo Yehlabathi

Lelifu le-spray likhupha wonke umntu kunye nayo yonke into, kuquka nehlathi elincinci, elisezantsi kwintlambo yamanzi. Ehlathini kunendlela encinci, apho wonke umntu angakwazi ukuhamba ukuze avuyise imibono enhle.
- Ukuxabisa ngokupheleleyo ubuhle nobukhulu bempompo kungabikho emoyeni okanye kwi-raft engezansi. Abaqhubi beenqwelo-moya bahambisa ukuhamba kancinane komoya, ngexesha apho ungaya khona uze ujikeleze umgca. Abavakhenkethi bathi ukuba ubukhulu beentlukwano zifaniswa neenqwelo zokuhamba ezinjengeenkcukacha ze-Star Wars.
