Ua kaulanaʻo Victoria Falls ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa a ke hopu mau neiʻo ia i kahi lehulehu o nā poʻe malihini mai ka honua a puni. ʻO ka wailele nui loa ia ma'Afelika. Kapaʻia ka inoa o ka poʻe o ka'āinaʻo "Mosi-o-Tunja",ʻo ia hoʻi, "Ka uwahi uila". ʻO Victoria kekahi o nā hōʻailona koʻikoʻi o ka'āinaʻAmelika.
ʻO ka'āina wai kahe like me nā'āinaʻelua - Zambia a me Zimbabwe. No ka hoʻomaopopoʻana i kahi o Victoria e hina ai, ponoʻoe eʻike i kahi e waiho ai ka palena ma waena o nā moku'āinaʻelua. Hoʻokaʻawaleʻo ia i nā'āina ma kaʻaoʻao o ke kahawaiʻo Zambezi River, e hele ana i ka wailele.

Ua hāʻawiʻia kona inoa i kēia wailele e ka mea paionia Pelekane a me ke kanaka heleʻo David Livingston. ʻO ia nō ke kanaka keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo, nona nā maka i ka makahiki 1885 i hōʻike mai i kaʻikeʻole o ka wailele. Ua mālama ka poʻe kaiāulu i ka mea noiʻi i ka wailele kiʻekiʻe loa ma'Afelika. Ua hoʻokipa loaʻiaʻo David Livingston a me ka pihoihoi e ka manaʻo i hoʻopuka kokeʻia ka wailele no ka hanohano o ka Mō'īwahine oʻEnelani.
ʻO Geography o ka Falls Victoria
ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻaʻoleʻo Victoria Falls ka wailele kiʻekiʻe ma ka honua. Ua hele nā Laura o ke kahawai kiʻekiʻe loa i ka Angel Falls ma Venezuela (979 m). Akā,ʻo kaʻoiaʻiʻo o ka paia o ka wai i hoʻolōʻihiʻia no kahi mamao oʻelua mau mile, e lilo ana kēia wailele i kahawai nui loa i ka honua. ʻO ka kiʻekiʻe o ka Falls Victoria kahi kokoke i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka Niagara Falls . Ua like kēia helu me 80 a 108 mau mika ma nāʻano likeʻole o ka holo. E pākuʻi mai ka nui o ka hāʻuleʻana o ka wai i ka wai o ka waiwai i hanaʻia e ka wailele, a hiki iā ia ke piʻi i kahi kiʻekiʻe o 400 m.
Aiaʻo Victoria Falls ma ka muliwaiʻo Zambezi kokoke i ka waena o kona wā e hele nei. Hoʻopau ka wai i ka pali ma kahi i hāʻule ai ke kahawai nui i kahi ākea o ke kuahiwi kūpono, a he 120 m ka laula.
Loaʻa ma ka Falls Victoria
I ka wā maʻamau, i ka wā i hiki mai ai ka ua, ua emi loa ka wai o ka muliwai. I kēia manawa, hiki iāʻoe ke hele i kahi o ka wailele. ʻO ke koena o ka manawa,ʻo ka wailele he kahawai nui loa ia e hoʻokahe ana i 546 miliona lita o ka wai i kēlā me kēia minuke.
ʻO ke kau maloʻo e hoʻohiwahiwa i ka nui o nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i ka wailele no ka meaʻo ia i loko o kēia manawa o ka makahiki hiki iāʻoe keʻauʻau i kahi wai maoli maoli, i kapaʻia he diabolō. ʻAʻole kēia he mea kupanaha, no ka mea, aia ma "ke keleponaʻo" Font of the Devil "ma kaʻaoʻao o Victoria. I ka hoʻouluʻana i loko o laila, hiki iāʻoe keʻike i keʻano, ma kahi lōʻihi o kahi mau mika wale mai ka mauna mai, e uhau ana i nāʻauwai wai. Mai ka wailele, ua hoʻokaʻawaleʻia kēia wai liʻiliʻi heʻumi mita wale nō e kahi mālū liʻiliʻi. Eia naʻe, i ka wā e noho hou ana ka wai o Zambezi, ua paniʻia ka "Baptist Baptist," no ka mea,ʻo kāna kipaʻana he mea weliweli ia i nā ola o nā mea mākaʻikaʻi.
Eia pū i waena o nā poʻe pāʻani o nā hana hoʻolālā he pāʻani hoʻokipa kaulanaʻo ia ka "lele lele". ʻAʻohe mea'ē aʻe ma mua o ka leleʻana ma luna o kekahi kaula i pololei i ka wai kaiʻo Victoria Falls ma Africa. Ua laweʻia ka "Bungee jumping" mai ka alahaka ma kahi kokoke i ka wailele. No ka mea e makemake ana i ka pilikia, hoʻokomo lākou i nā kaula kūikawā kūikawā kūikawā a'ōleloʻia e hele i ka lua. Ma hope o ka mahuka lele, kokoke ma kahi o ka wai, e kū mai ke aho a kokoke e ho'ōki. Hiki i nā mea holokaʻi makaʻuʻole ka nui o nā manaʻo hou a me kaʻikeʻole.
