Victoria Falls


There are many places in the world I have always wanted to visit. In the main, it is the most famous tourist cities. However, recently I have seen the video about Victoria Falls, and I have a great wish to visit this place. Choosing the material for the story I have found out much cognitive and interesting information about the falls.
Victoria Falls is a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River in Africa. Also it is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world it is known as the largest. The name Victoria Falls was given to the falls by the Scottish explorer Dr. David Livingstone. The locals call the falls Mosi-oa-Tunya meaning “smoke that thunders.”
Victoria Falls and the surrounding area are very extensive, so it is impossible to see at a glance its marvel. There are several ways to enjoy the beauty and splendor of the falls. The first view comes from the air using a helicopter. The second and the most impressive one is swimming in Devil’s Pond. Devil’s Pond is a natural mountain basin which is located at 120 meters height. People who swam there told that it was indescribable feeling and there wasn’t other place like this on earth. 
Victoria Falls is located on the territory of two national parks. So you can see wild animals such as elephants and giraffes.
You can hardly find the lovely words which haven’t described this magnificent natural wonder yet.
             I wish I can go there one day

  1. Vika, you have forgotten to entitle your composition, to begin with. Secondly, it's not about a place you have always wanted to go, actually, so it's not on topic. Thirdly, you don't clarify your reasons for choosing the place.
