The real wealth of the hottest continent can be considered the waterfalls of Africa, and most of them are concentrated in South Africa (the Kingdom of Lesotho alone boasts 3,000 waterfalls).
Victoria Falls
Those who come here (Victoria has a height of more than 100, and a width of about 1800 m), will be able to jump on a rubber rope from the highest point of the waterfall or canoe or kayak on the Zambezi, go on foot or auto safari in the national park, as well as visit museum (exhibits will "tell" about the history of the waterfall).
Those who wish will be able to admire Victoria on a helicopter tour over the waterfall, while cruising along the Zambezi River, from the railway bridge, or after lifting any of the numerous observation decks equipped in Victoria Falls National Park (entrance costs $ 10).
Location - on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The visit will cost $ 20.
Tugela waterfall
It is represented by a 5-step cascade (maximum height - more than 400 m, width - 15 m), and you can get here by choosing one of 2 trails: the path along the first route will take 5 hours, and along the second - the whole day. In any case, the journey will be accompanied by spectacular views and climbing steep mountains (metal stairs are provided for climbing).
Congu Falls
Kongu are the most beautiful waterfalls in Central Africa: their waters fall from a height of 56 meters, and the total width of successively located cascades reaches 3 km. They are located at a distance from the tourist routes of Gabon, so it will be possible to go on an excursion to them from Makoku, where hotels for tourists are open.
Blue Nile Falls
They are represented by several small cascades, which are located at the foot of a large waterfall (its width ranges from 100-400 m, and its height is 37-45 m).
Ethiopia, near the village of Tis Abbay; visit cost - 20 birr.
Boyoma Falls
In terms of water consumption (17,000 cubic meters / sec), they are included in the Guinness Book of Records. The waterfalls have 7 rapids (they are separated by stretches) and stretch for 150 km.
Kalambo waterfall
The height of the fall of the water is more than 200 m, and from the top point of the waterfall, a delightful panorama of the surroundings and Lake Tanganyika opens (geological processes "go on" around it, as a result of which the height of the fall of water is constantly increasing - over the past 50 years, the height of Kalambo has increased by more than 10 m). It is worth noting that archaeologists have discovered objects related to the Wilton culture near this site.
Since Kalambo is open to the public, lovers of the picturesque nature will be offered to get to its foot by car or water taxi. Location - on the border of Zambia and Tanzania.
