TOWN |  | Cape
Town was the only city to be named in the top five, beating Sydney, New York,
Venice and Paris – not to mention famed attractions like India’s Taj
Mahal, Egypt’s Pyramids and Australia’s Ayers Rock. There is nowhere
quite like Cape Town. It is in Africa, and of Africa, but yet so different. Perched
between the ocean and the mountain, and with a national park as its heart, it's
wild and wonderful. But it's also the oldest city in our country, and it has a
cultural heritage spanning more than 300 years. |
______________________________› | VICTORIA
FALLS |  | The
Victoria Falls are a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on
the Zambezi River, bordering Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Columns of spray can be seen
from miles away as over 500 million cubic meters of water per minute plummet over
the edge over a width of nearly two kilometers into a deep gorge over 100 meters
below. The wide basalt cliff, over which the falls thunder, transforms the Zambezi
from a wide placid river to a ferocious torrent cutting through a series of dramatic
gorges. Facing the Falls is another sheer wall of basalt, rising to the same height
and capped by mist-soaked rain forest. A path along the edge of the forest provides
the visitor who is prepared to brave the tremendous spray with an unparalleled
series of views of the Falls. |
