EASILY BIGGER, BETTER, AND MORE GRAND...THAT WOULD BE VICTORIA FALLS VS. NIAGARA FALLS!

Now that we've seen both Victoria Falls and Niagara Falls it can easily/comfortabily stated that the African version wins hands down! Victoria Falls also wins out by far when it comes to little or no commercialization. It was so refreshing not to see advertising plastered all over the place...almost to a fault at Vic Falls. Try Niagara and one is bleary-eyed from neon lights, blaring car music, every kind of distraction not associated with water or water falls. David Livingstone had it right when on December 16, 1855, he described the falls as God's magnificent creation. The local Tongo people described it as, "Mosi oa Tunya...Smoke that Thunders." Later named after Queen Victoria, I asked several locals if there was a movement to rename the falls. They gave me strange looks and to a person answered, "Never!"
