Victoria Falls A briefing about Victoria Falls: The Victoria Falls constitutes one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world. The Local people call it "Mosi-oa-Tunya" -- the smoke that thunders and the Falls are remarkable. Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.[1] Victoria Falls was so named by Scottish explorer David Livingstone (see pre-colonial history, below), and this is the name in use in Zimbabwe. The older, indigenous name of Mosi-oaTunya is the name in official use in Zambia. The World Heritage List recognizes both names. While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, it is claimed to be the largest. This claim is based on a width of 1.7 kilometers (1 mi) and height of 108 meters (360 ft), forming the largest sheet of falling water in the world. The falls' maximum flow rate compares well with that of other major waterfalls. By the end of the 1990s, almost 300,000 people were visiting the falls annually, and this was expected to rise to over a million in the next decade. Unlike the game parks, Victoria Falls has more Zimbabwean and Zambian visitors than international tourists as they are accessible by bus and train and therefore comparatively inexpensive to reach.
Victoria Falls-A Strategic Area i) It shall be located at a walking distance to most of the residents and easily accessible by road. ii) Its location shall be viewed by pass-bys on the main Bulawayo- Victoria
Falls high way this will course a lot of publicity to the nation as whole. iii) People would like to see something new in Victoria Falls; the
establishment of the immovable Luna Park will be most welcomed its existence shall be echoed by citizens of Zambia across the border which is 3km away. iv) Closer to the LUNA PARK there shall be a string of souvenir shops of which after long day of shopping people will come to the park to take a breath by taking a sip from the restaurant.
v) 100KM to the south along Bulawayo- Victoria Falls road there is another
tourist resort place this is the Hwange National Park which is a home to thousand of the wild life animals. Traditionally tourist visiting Hwange National Park combines their visit by touring the Victoria Falls; this will give a boost to the people who will land up visiting the the Luna park. vi) Most of the developed countries, Luna Park is considered a thing of the
back yard, however after touring Africa it will serve as a reminder of back home as there come to a Zimbabwean Luna Park with a different atmosphere. vii) South Africa; Botswana and Zambia share border and all of them are
tourist destinations. Zimbabwe is the only country with one of the Seven Wonders of the World the Falls. Having the Luna Park stationed in Victoria Falls will not only bring the nationals with their families but also the regional members who do not require any visor process to come to Zimbabwe. viii)In Vic-Falls many currencies are used without going through the Bauru De
Change Centre that will change commissions. All if not most of the shops accept the use of Different major currencies with no restriction from the government. ix) There is a lot of public security provided by the government to safe guard the tourists who visit the country at all times. x) A lot of people in Victoria Falls work for Private Companies with
Hwange Power Station 100km from the Falls taking the most.
Tourism Now: The numbers of visitors to the Zimbabwean side of the falls has historically been much higher than the number visiting the Zambia side, due to the greater development of the visitor facilities there. However, the number of tourists visiting Zimbabwe began to decline in the early 2000s as political tensions between supporters and opponents of the ruling party increased. In 2006, hotel occupancy on the Zimbabwean side hovered at around 30%, However after the recent signing of the government of national unity which saw the joining together of the ruling party and a pro-western backed opposition, Victoria Falls has started to receive the glimmers of hope with visitors flocking again. Victoria Falls is always made popular by its frequent hosting of major events like the important government meeting; regional and international meetings. The tourist resort centre is also attracting a lot of celebrates who most of the times use the centre for shooting their movies.
Activities Held:
A number of activities can be undertaken. The 'Flight of Angels' provides a fabulous vista of the falls, the upstream river and its many islands and for the more adventurous there is micro lighting with stunning views of the fall. Rafting the wild rapids below the Falls is a very popular adventure. Visitors can also kayak, canoe, fish, go on guided walking safaris, and ride on horseback and lunch on Livingstone's Island. Game viewing via boat or open vehicles is a popular activity above the falls or in Chobe in Botswana.
