    "The Champaxi River is the fourth largest river in Africa and the most important river in Africa. The sand content of this river is not large, so the whole process is very clear. There are many wild holes in the river, such as hippo otters, etc., you can take a boat tour. The scenery of the West River is really beautiful and refreshing."

The average annual flow of the estuary is 7080 cubic meters per second, and the runoff is 223.2 billion cubic meters, second only to the Congo River. The upper reaches of the Victoria Falls are the upper reaches, and most of them flow through the plateau. The vertical ratio of the riverbed is small, the water flow is gentle, the meanders are developed, the swamps are widely distributed along the river, and there are rapids and waterfalls in some river sections. The section from the waterfall down to the Cabra Bassa in Mozambique is the middle reaches. Most of the river sections cut through the sandstone layers, and some sections cut through the basalt layers, forming the characteristics of the valley between canyons and wide valleys. The famous canyon is Batoka. Gorge, Kariba Gorge, Kabubasa Gorge, etc., the water flow is slow and urgent, and it is rich in water resources. The lower reaches of the river below Cabra Bassa are the lower reaches. After the river passes through the mountains on the edge of the plateau at the Lupata Gorge below Tete, it enters the Mozambique plain, and the river surface widens to 3-8km.

    "Known as the world's widest waterfall, it was named because it was Her Majesty Queen Victoria, one of the greatest rulers in British history. Unfortunately, time is limited and the reason is difficult, most people are looking down on this great natural wonder through airplanes."
    Livingstone
    7.4 km from downtown Livingstone
    No.2 of Water Fun Attractions in Zambia
    Highlights: Devil's Pool is a naturally formed rock pool, named "Devil's Pool" because it is located at the top of the 110-meter-high Victoria Falls. Only in the dry season from September to October every year, the water volume of the pool is relatively small and relatively calm, and there is no waterfall left along the rock wall. In the flood season from March to May each year, the water flow is 15 times that of the dry season. Therefore, usually tourists have to jump into the pool to swim in the dry season. But there are plenty of extreme sports enthusiasts and intrepid swimmers who come to the pool during flood season for a thrilling "devil" experience. In fact, although the name of "Devil's Pool" is daunting, but because it is surrounded by rocks, tourists do not need to worry about their own safety. Tourists who have experienced it themselves in the pool say that apart from the roaring water around them, the "Devil's Pool" in the dry season is not as dangerous as it sounds.
