AIRPORT INFO

		David Livingstone discovered the falls on the 16th of November 1855 during his travels in Africa. Overwhelmed by the beauty and magnitude of the scene, he wrote "Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight" and named the falls "Victoria Falls", after his Queen. Dr. Livingstone's
interpreters called the falls "Mosi-oa-Tunya", "The Smoke that Thunders". Livingstone in Zambia, was the first village to be established in the Victoria Falls area in 1904. With the building of the railway line and bridge in 1905,

as part of Cecil Rhodes' plan for the Cape to Cairo railway line, the area opened as a tourist destination. The first hotel in Victoria Falls was the tin-roofed Victoria Falls Hotel in 1905. Some attractions in the area are game drives, the crocodile park, walking trails, bungi jumping from the bridge, and white water rafting.
