Africa - Landscapes

Here are aome landscape pictures of Africa from my trip:

Cape of Good Hope - Where Atlanticc & Indian Oceans meet

Part of Table Mountain - Simons Town is in the distance

Part of the Garden Route - North of George

Small waterfall between Prince Albert and Oudtshorn

Sunset look over the Mighty Zambezi River

About 1/3 of Victoria Falls 
Victoria Falls is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, yet it is classified as the largest, based on its width of 1,708 metres (5,604 ft) and height of 108 metres (354 ft), resulting in the world's largest sheet of falling water. Victoria Falls is roughly twice the height of  Niagara Falls and well over twice the width of its Horseshoe Falls. In height and width Victoria Falls is rivalled only by Argentina and Brazil's Iguazu Falls. The spray from the falls typically rises to a height of over 400 metres (1,300 ft), and sometimes even twice as high. We were there in the beginning of the rainy season - and so saw the falls at about 1/2 - 2/3 of the peak flow rate.
