Livingstone island
Le Dr David Livingstone a pagayé dans un canot pirogue à travers des rapides en direction du rugissement et des nuages de brume suspendus au-dessus d'une falaise sur laquelle le fleuve Zambèze, large d'un kilomètre, s'est jeté dans son ensemble.
Les pagayeurs de'Makoro' (canoë) l'ont habilement débarqué sur'Goat Island' (maintenant connue sous le nom de Livingstone Island) juste sur le bord du gouffre.
A quelques pas à travers la petite forêt tropicale le 16 novembre 1855, il aperçut l'un des sites les plus spectaculaires du monde -'Mosi-o-Tunya' (la fumée qui gronde) qu'il appela en l'honneur de sa reine les chutes Victoria.
