The largest and most spectacular waterfalls in the World, Victoria Falls was sighted on this day (16-nov) by the Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone in 1855...
Victoria Falls is nestled in a remote part of Southern Africa, located on the Zambezi River at the border between present day Zambia and Zimbabwe... It wasn't widely known to the outside world until Livingston's exploration brought it to European attention in 1855...
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist destination, Victoria Falls is over a mile wide and has a height of more than 350 feet, making it one of the most impressive natural wonders...
Southern Rhodesian Postal Administration (present day Zimbabwe) in 1932 commemorated Victoria Falls by issuing a 2-Southern Rhodesian penny postage stamp...
This stamp can be collected under the themes:
(a) Nature...
(b) Environment...
(d) Waterfalls...
