I used to think Victoria Falls was the largest waterfall site in the world until...
Kaieteur Falls:
Kaieteur Falls is the world's largest single drop waterfall by the volume of water flowing over it. Located on the Potaro River in the Kaieteur National Park, it sits in a section of the Amazon rainforest included in the Potaro-Siparuni region of Guyana.
Great images.

Hard to say, some go by largest (width/height), some falls measured by volume of water spilling over.
This is interesting I went to take a look since I have not seen this set of falls previously @jaichai what a magnificent drop of water, in another spectacular part of the world.
Learning something new every day, Inga Falls on Congo River has the largest volume, thanks for peeking my interest.
What a fasinating post to see the comparison of Victoria Falls from 1982 compared to 2006.
It is saddening to see the commercialism of such an amazing natural wonder and how fortunate you were to have been there in 1962! Beautiful! Beautiful Area!
I have a question about the view from the plane is that a cultivated area of some sort or is that what the natural terrain looks like?
I really appreciate you taking us along on these tours! That is the closest I'll get to visiting Victoria Falls!
The view from the plane is raw bushveld, natural terrain most of the way, you do see some farmlands spotted along the way where there is water and roads, none is this particular photo @porters, thanks for visiting and comment.
Such a beautiful travel and a variety of great photography, thanks for sharing with us!
So glad you enjoyed the content @almi thanks for visiting.
Great post here Lady Joan and glad that you also picked one of the 7 wonders.
I went there in the 80s, but via Chobe.
A great place in those years.
Blessings!
That is where disappointment came in, we could not get over to Chobe, so close yet so far Stephen.
Train journey in 1964 bush was teaming with wild life.
You been to Chobe Lady Joan?
At Gazankula there's an old steel ferry that loads the car and travels across the river to dock at the Zambian side.
A wonderful adventure, but a very far drive.
Blessings!
Never been into Chobe, sadly was planned not achieved yet. Exceptionally long way to drive, perhaps consider a tour one day if we are lucky to go that far north again Stephen.
Oh you have to see Gazankula at Chobe Lady Joan. They have some beautiful lodges there with wide open breakfast spreads. The joining point of four countries and once you cross the river into Zambia, the first little town is called Livingstone. A really unforgettable place with Elephants, Hippos and Crocs all over the place.
The nights are also filled with animal sounds.
Blessings!
Wow ! This is the great outdoors and you look like you're having a great time.
I like the lodges.. It's cosy and really showing the true beauty of the life the locals live.
This is a tourist destination, sadly the locals live in poverty in a village on the road between the falls and the airport @ireenchew, fortunately there is some work for them in this village.
What a fantastic post things sure have changed a lot over the years, Zimbabwe is a place I always wanted to visit but never made it t, but through your post I fele like I now have :)
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :)
My parents went there for their honeymoon, later wished to move to the region, I think that was partially the reason of our trip up in 1964.
Thanks for enjoying, more of a walk down memory lane....
Sometimes walks down memory lane are the best walks ;)

Are you kidding me? 3 week train ride with 4 kids?!?!?!?! You mother is either nuts or a heroine!
Anyway, it is some pretty impressive sights... the three week original journey must have been quite a formative experience, definitely something to remember for life!
I am still dumbfounded how parents coped on the train, the journey to get there was a disjointed with many changes (relied on input from brothers and sister) took me months to research old train routes.
Original trip up was amazing, running through the bush barefoot never knowing what you would see around the next corner. Only scary moments, my Dad almost plummeting over the edge in the rain forest, and my oldest brother about to hurl a rock at a massive bee hive going down the steps to the boiling pot, other than that all was good at the end of the day.
