Africa is home to some of the world’s most breath-taking wildlife and landscapes. Its epic scenery is legend. Even in this distinguished company, the African waterfall stands out in all its shimmering and powerful glory.
Here are some of the most magnificent of African waterfalls you can see for yourself.
Victoria Falls
Perhaps the most famous African waterfall around the world, this majestic waterfall is 5,604 feet wide. The thrills of experiencing such natural power, with the water thundering onto the rocks below, is truly breath-taking.
Ouzoud Falls
Ouzoud Falls are a collection of ethereal waterfalls that all feed into the El-Abid river in Morocco. The way the water twists and turns its way down the rocks oozes a sense of divine majesty.
Lumangwe Falls
The largest waterfall in Zambia, the spray from the torrents of crashing water can ascend as far as 100m into the air. You can see these falls from the river bank, or the more daring of you can follow the paths that lead to the foot of the falls.
Augrabies Falls
Found along the Orange River, South Africa’s largest river snakes through the desolate landscape of the region. These falls are called “the place of great noise” by the locals.
