David Livingston Talks About His First Sight Of Victoria Falls

“Never before had the eyes of a European seen it. But the demigods flying in the sky must have gazed in wonder many times at that ghastly sight...

That's what David Livingstone said about seeing Victoria Falls for the first time.

On a clear moonlit night, the train I was traveling in crossed the Sambasi Bridge outside the Livingston Railway Station and saw part of the Victoria Falls for the first time. The soothing noise of the waterway had already started to be heard. As the train crossed the bridge, a half-furlong to the west, a view of the Milky Way overturned by the moon! After a while it disappeared.

The next day, accompanied by Sandhya and a Gujarati friend of mine from Livingstone, I reached the falls. We sat for a while near the southernmost waterfall called "Devil's Cataract".Enjoyed On the morning of the third day, I reached V there. All that day he watched the watchtower and its surroundings

It is true that the traveling English writer says that "All waterfalls have a characteristic of combining the qualities of beauty and power." We can call it a powerful stream or a flowing force.Although this principle applies to all the world's famous waterways, each waterfall has its own novelty.

The novelty of the Zambezi waterway is that it becomes a waterfall at a level point. That is, the actress did not suddenly jump down from a high hill or cliff to sing, but slipped into a great crevasse while flowing through the plains. You cannot see the waterfall from a distance. Apart from the fact that the clouds of steam rising to the sky and the continuous flow reveal the presence of a magnificent watercourse, if you want to see the proper jump, you have to stand close to it.

Rising from the dark recesses of the jungles of Portuguese Angola in West Africa, the Zambasi River flows 800 miles south, then plunges into this rock-cleft abyss. After the falls, it again becomes a wide river after a 40-mile adventure through a series of narrow rock crevices. It then travels 900 miles and merges with the Hindu Ocean at Shi'. The total area of ​​the area irrigated by the Sambas River is 4,75,000 square miles.June-July is the best time to visit Vicaria Falls, after these are full and in full swing. AP May is the rainy season when the waterfall reaches its peak in size, power and energy, but on that occasion, a thick veil of steam obscures the bold view, a gray palm.

Nothing will be seen except the atmosphere. The ledges at the edge of the cleft of the waterfall cut the incoming stream into four parts, so that a single, wide waterfall can be seen.

Instead of a path, there are tongue waterfalls. 'Eastern Cataract', 'Rainbowfalls', 'Main Till' and 'Devil's Bite' are the sections of Victoria Falls.

The continuous clouds of water particles rising from the pressure of the water falling from the height of 33 feet with thousands of horse power to the lower Patalapi Urpa are rising in the sky and falling again like rain in these forests on the other side. Rain that has been going on for millions of years without a single moment of imprisonment! Trees and vines are ever-blooming, green and blooming in this constant 'Tiruvathiranatuvela' stream (our Kerala pepper vines seem to grow well if planted here). One never walks through this forest without an umbrella or a raincoat. This central waterfall can be viewed from several heights, with other footpaths built down.

It is here that 'the dangerous headland juts out into a deep cleft. A woman's foot print can also be seen on this rock, which is called Ayya's Footprint. This bridge formed in the rock by the play of time is the footprint of Avva. When I saw this, I remembered 'Sri Ramapada' which I saw in the forest near Pampasaras. Three years ago I once went on an adventure to visit Sabarimala in Avas Math, near Pampasaras, where some Ayyappas took me to a nearby forest to show me the feet of Sri Rama, and there I saw a footprint-shaped mark on a rock. That Sri Ramapada and the footprints of this Avva are almost identical

After the rain forest, the next sight is the 'Devil's Throat' which is next to South Asia and the last one. It is a fountain that looks 200 feet high. It jumps down by 90 feet and tilts towards the shore

Opposite this waterfall. A statue of David Lewiston has been erected by the overhanging wild trees on the shore. Lewiston, snow on the head 98

The accused is made as if he is staring at the waterfall with a hat and a stick in his hand.

From Sambasini's South Sea coast, we can reach Card Island in the middle of the Devil's Island by canoes in winter and on foot through the backwaters in summer. If you stand on the edge of this gorge, you can see Sambasi fading into the underworld right in front of you.

The hustle and bustle of the waterfalls is over. The water from the four waterfalls boils together and comes together in a wide basin. It is through EV that the river continues its journey back to the rock crevice. The letter is titled "Boiling Pot".

The fallen Zambasi River roars, foaming at the mouth, dizzy; He rarely knows where to move. Finally, like a cobra, it slowly crawls forward.

In fact, Victoria Falls is not amazing, but something else creates a taste in us. It is doubtful whether we will be able to understand the 'language' of Victoria Falls just by walking around there once.
