Victoria Falls Bridge initiates tourism
European settlement of the Victoria Falls area started around 1900 in response to the desire of Cecil Rhodes' British South Africa Company for mineral rights and imperial rule north of the Zambezi, and the exploitation of other natural resources such as timber forests north-east of the falls, and ivory and animal skins. Before 1905, the river was crossed above the falls at the Old Drift, by dugout canoe or a barge towed across with a steel cable.[12] Rhodes' vision of a Cape-Cairo railway drove plans for the first bridge across the Zambezi and he insisted it be built where the spray from the falls would fall on passing trains, so the site at the Second Gorge was chosen. See the main article Victoria Falls Bridge for details.[11] From 1905 the railway offered accessible travel from as far as the Cape in the south and from 1909, as far as the Belgian Congo in the north. In 1904 the Victoria Falls Hotel was opened to accommodate visitors arriving on the new railway. The falls became an increasingly popular attraction during British colonial rule of Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) and Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), with the town of Victoria Falls becoming the main tourist centre.
Zambia's independence and Rhodesia's UDI
In 1964, Northern Rhodesia became the independent state of Zambia. The following year, Rhodesia unilaterally declared independence. This was not recognized by Zambia, the United Kingdom nor the vast majority of states and led to United Nations-mandated sanctions. In response to the emerging crisis, in 1966 Zambia restricted or stopped border crossings; it did not re-open the border completely until 1980. Guerilla warfare arose on the southern side of the Zambezi from 1972: the Rhodesian Bush War. Visitor numbers began to drop, particularly on the Rhodesian side. The war affected Zambia through military incursions, causing the latter to impose security measures including the stationing of soldiers to restrict access to the gorges and some parts of the falls.
Zimbabwe's internationally recognised independence in 1980 brought comparative peace, and the 1980s witnessed renewed levels of tourism and the development of the region as a centre for adventure sports. Activities that gained popularity in the area include whitewater rafting in the gorges, bungee jumping from the bridge, game fishing, horse riding, kayaking, and flights over the falls.[15]
Tourism in recent years
The naturally formed "Devil's Pool", where some tourists swim despite a risk of plunging over the edge
By the end of the 1990s almost 400,000 people were visiting the falls annually, and this was expected to rise to over a million in the next decade. Unlike the game parks, Victoria Falls has more Zimbabwean and Zambian visitors than international tourists; the attraction is accessible by bus and train, and is therefore comparatively inexpensive to reach.
Both countries permit tourists to make day trips across the border to view the falls from both viewpoints. Visitors with single-entry visas are required to purchase a visa each time they cross the border; visas can be obtained at both border posts. Costs vary from US$50-$80 (as of January 2017). Visa regulations change frequently; visitors are advised to check the rules currently in effect in both countries before crossing the border in either direction. Additionally, foreign tourists may purchase a KAZA visa for US$50 that will permit visitors to travel between Zambia and Zimbabwe for up to 30 days as long as they remain within the covered countries.

Your cat is trying to get through to you to stop petting him in the wrong direction. Only pet them in the direction of their fur.
Learn something new every day. Cats especially like scratches on the sides of the face, when done well. And in front of the tail.
Advanced class: Knead their pelt gently, moving slowly head to tail, they'll often plop over on their side purring.
Man THIS GUY IS SIKCE
Wow that’s loud
We definitely want more videos of your carnivorous cat!
As opposed to his herbivorous cat.
And his Breatharian cat.
Oh man this makes me SO HAPPY that one of your crew made this trip! I grew up in Zimbabwe and for my 14th birthday my dad took me up there. Mosi oa tunya translates to "the mist that thunders" and seeing this made me seriously tear up and brought back fond memories of that journey! It's a sound that you will never forget.
Your cat nibbles you and follows your hands with its paws without scratching you.
...your cat is a dog.
This felt a lot more realistic by tripling the volume after the intro
josav09 maybe I should turn down the intros so people do it naturally
I felt like the quality on this one suffered a little. The bass was causing clipping.
If it were possible, it would probably be best to get microphones/recording with no auto-gain to ensure volume stays fairly consistent.
But it is that bassy with the rushing water.
Sorry, I didn't word that too well. When the bass gets loud very suddenly the rest of the sound gets turned down (the mic hits it DR limit) so it sounds like somebody is wiggling a volume slider. That messes with the binaural effect. You mainly hear it in the treble suddenly fading out, it "feels" like somebody clamping their hands over your ears suddenly.
Yes, I know what you are saying and agree with you also, but IRL it is that deep.
Seemed the mics were clipping a little bit, but still an amazing video. Victoria Falls makes Niagara look sort of insignificant.😁 That a *LOT* of water!!😮
THANK YOU! I was born in Zimbabwe and forced to leave as a very young child. The last time I saw the Mist That Thunders in person was when I was eleven years old. You have given me a gift beyond measure today since I am not able to return to the country of my birth.
Celtic.... they have given us ALL a wonderful gift with this experience. Hope you are doing well in your new home.
I live in Florida and I'm laying in bed have my headphones on and your notification came up so I'm watching the video and when the 3D sound started I thought there was a storm outside of my house and then I realized I'm listening to your video.
Laying in Florida.... walking in Africa. The internet is awesome.
I thought the same thing. Also from Florida.
Better, i think i hear flash flood for a second
OMG... That sound. Better than the SpaceX Falcon Heavy Launch and it's all natural
Luminous knight - the sound would be massive I believe. I think it's about the drop height as well. Higher the water drop, heavier or more low pitched the sound. The closest I have experienced such a powerful fall is the Chitrakoot Falls in India, called the Indian Niagra (Nowhere close to that though), was pretty cool.
we are nature, spacex is nature. there are no difference. we are all ONE.
Although this is great, I'm gonna say nah. I'd definitely be more impressed by Falcon Heavy.
"How do you put headphones on a cat"
Man has his priorities straight
Does anyone else notice an eye in the cloud (top right side) at 7:03 O.o

I really really love this channel. I always loved binaural audio.
Keep up the good work, man!
Can't wait for a new video!
2:10 goosebumps
Hey Destin, why did you described Vicotria Falls as "Largest Waterfall in the world"?
The World Waterfalls Database lists Inga Falls, an area of rapids on the Congo River, as the waterfall with the largest volume; and...
the tallest waterfall in the world is Venezuela's Angel Falls, which plunges 3,212 feet (979 meters), according to the National Geographic Society (source www.livescience.com/32753-whats-the-largest-waterfall-in-the-world-.html)
Put down the headphones. I have The Klipsch Legend Series KLF-30’s with a Klipsch R-115 Sub. This sounds INCREDIBLE!
If you have a built system and a large property like we do, let it rip and feel it. Wow! I put on the headphones As I was told, and thought this is nothing at all in comparison to the system drive in the sound. What an experience. Keep up the good work
Hi Destin,
I'm currently making a RUclips video with a segment about how Mosi oa Tunya is a better and more appropriate name for the Victoria Falls than...Victorial Falls! Can I have your permission to show part of this video (with your watermark intact and with credit of course in the description)? I would probably use less than the window 3:38 - 3:55.
Thanks!
This would be even more amazing with 360° video and 360°audio. Move the video with your finger or the angle of your phone. Different angle of sight AND sound. Is there even anyone doing this? Love these videos!
I have been there IRL..and the sound and the view in reality is stunning. But i have to say that the volume of the sound is much higher in the headset (Bose Quiet Comfort 25) than in reality. There is no problem speaking normally there.
I love how Audrey approaches the falls slowly so we can appreciate the volume of the falls increasing slowly. Also her camera work is great ...no sudden moves.
to stand next to the falls, in full flood, or at the bottom of the falls (zambian side) is an experience difficult to comprehend... the volume of water, spray and roar.... watching this video brings back a lot of child hood memories. i lived in livingstone (zambia) in the lat 60's and this was our playground. One thing that struck me was, even all these years later, there are still no barriers and in some places you are literally a couple of metres / 6 feet away fro a sheer drop... and i cannot recall a single incident where a tourist or anyone has slipped a fallen to what would be their death....
Is there way to know what volume to set your computer at to hear what ambient levels would actually be like? Much of this experience is the sound, I know headphones can't really replicate say a rocket launch but something like this would be closer to manageable.
David Livingstone was not the first person to see the falls but the first European(whiteman) to see the falls.
This week on strange passions: A man walks around the world recording the things that he hears and makes them sound as if they are ACTUALLY THERE! And the audience LOVE IT!
You have people going places to film these videos while I get my binaural audio from minecraft
*Can you but it on drone*
Some old famous video like barber shop RUclips video make it *3D* affect?
The cat is so cool... She is making you do a high five ✋
01:18 , experienced cat owners know who hasn't had some "fun" in a long time
Sound is fantastic as always, but video quality is really lacking this time. Why only 720p? Higher settings on youtube have higher bitrates, so even if the source file isn't 720p+, it still looks better than a 720p stream. Also, 60fps 720p has a lower bitrate than 30fps 720p, making it even more noticeable.
Bro, this was far by far the most relaxing and indluging video i've seen. I really felt like i was there.👍🏾
Just tried your binaural experience through my surround sound, Destin. Man what an experience. Take note that my system has been expertly tuned with a Db sensor and tonal ears. This is an amazing immersion f sound and picture. The falls were shaking my apartment through the 3 sub's. Can't wait to try more videos! Thanks
Although I'm sure it still sounded cool, binaural signals don't work properly through speakers, no matter how well they are set up. They are designed to work through headphones because they simulate the human head being in between the two channels, which translates to a dead spot in the center of the mix where the head is. The ears are hearing two totally different things, and on a surround system both will just be playing on top of each other, nullifying the effect.
Stereo mixes don't have a barrier between the two channels, they're just slightly different shades of the same audio blended together.
At some parts of the video it's like you almost feel water droplets hit your face
haha, nice intro, it reminds me of 2 of your videos as I wondered what happens if you let prince rupert drop? haha couldn;t resist!
WOW this content is amazing.!!! Smarter Evday brought me here now....!!!! Thanks Again Destin and all collaborators. !!
what is being used to record the Binaural audio
something like this: www.ohrwurmaudio.eu/ohrwurm-3d.html#
or this: www.soundman.de/
Thank you so much for taking us to some glorious places
DUUUUUUUDE!!! VICTORIA FALLS WAS *NOT* FIRST DISCOVERED BY A EUROPEAN!! THERE WERE AFRICANS IN AFRICA LOOOOOONG BEFORE EUROPEANS GOT TO AFRICA. You don't know how bad i wanted to unsubscribe after hearing such a statement.
You should hook up with Bozzy1992 who produces superb binaural Formula One videos. (not all of his videos are binaural but the ones he has done are amazing).
Great video and audio experience. For some reason, I found the little mini-falls in the center of the frame at about 3:10 or so to be neat. I was also wondering if there was any interesting effect on the nearby vegetation of basically being watered 24/7/365.
I love that, other than the walkways and minimal fence construction, it appears to be fairly natural.
Hi Destin,
Did you consider using a binaural rendering engine for these Sound Traveller intros (e.g. you speaking in your room) where you're not using binaural microphones? If you did and didn't find what you were looking for, I developed the Anaglyph plugin with my lab (for research on binaural rendering in VR): anaglyph.dalembert.upmc.fr. Feel free to use it as you please, it'd be an honour to contribute to the cause.
Keep being smart,
David
nice audio. that warp stabilizer tho
Incredible sounds and sights. Thanks Destin and Audrey.
But Destin... Why did you not save the flipping cat physics episode of SED (Ep 58) for when you had Prince Rupert? That would combine 2 of your favorite things: slow motion and Prince Rupert Drops :)
Hi Dustin, may I propose a new project. Binaural sound of frozen lakes. Can't imagine enough how trippy that's gonna be.. I am avid follower of your videos..
"First Discovered by Europeans by David Livingston" - because things don't really exist until they are named after a Monarch. (sarcasm provided by the late Eoin Cameron, ABC Radio Perth, in reference to 'Victoria Falls')
Beautiful natural scenery and great sound, very impressive. PLEASE ask you camera people not to whip the camera around quickly from side to side - I understand they want to get everything in - but it's very amateurish. Otherwise great stuff!
They don’t like being squeezed!! She’s kinda heavy so you probably are squeezing with some pressure??
Awesome video and awesome channel, but why oh why is this not in 4K 60fps? is it bc you published 4K to patreons only? Also.. have you thought of doing 360 video as well? this would be amazing with VR goggles
I love my Beyerdynamic headphones. So realistic with high volume. I close my eyes and imagining someone was carrying me around blind folded. It's kinda scary.
My videos can't compete with Victoria Falls but you might like them anyway.
The sound was amazing, but the video at 720P is terrible! You should be filming at 4K. Please upgrade.
Beautiful expereience. Thanks for sharing. Side note: It's better to use "was seen by Europeans" because they did not discover the waterfall in any meaningful sense. Ok maybe in the "the other people are not fully humans" sense, and I know Desting does not agree with that last one.
I wonder when we will get past the idea that a European or American explorer can "discover" something that's been around for hundred of thousand of years and already named by the indigenous population ie. "The smoke that thunders" and slap the current monarchs name on it saying look what we found... Destin, I'm a major fan of both youtube channels as well as a patreon and regular listener of No Dumb Questions with another favorite creator Matt. We need to challenge the colonial ways of our western culture ( I'm in Canada and man are we guilty of it too). We have to change how we speak about these places. I love what you do Sir and have mad respect for your work and your faith. God bless. Ephesians 4:23-24.
The Victoria Falls was first discovered by Europeans? Really?
This isn't the same cat as in the slow-mo "cats always land on their feet" video is it? Because that would've been Prince Rupert's drop.....
I love falls. In my youth, I used to sit for hours on a ledge listening to my grandfather's falls, about 70 feet. You could watch the hawks soar at eye level over his falls. The frequencies if water falling is so soothing. Thank you for the memories.
Cheers!
I don't know, the microphones sound like they were actually clipping all the time. It sounds more like a static white noise, than the dynamic noise a waterfall has. You definitelety hear how some parts of the sounds hit a roof and just can't get louder. I guess "normal" binaurial Microphones were used right? But I guess for these ultra loud sounds, special microphones with high db tolerance are needed with lot less gain, so that no clipping could happen. But still, nice video :)
Wow this is amazing.. Can I ask, what microphones are you using?
Thanks!
I grew up in Victoria Falls and this just give me major nostalgia
No obtrusive handrails, large view-blocking warning signs - you can hardly tell this is in the most litigious country in the worl... oh yeah, this isn't in the United States.
Treat him like a turd, he'll be a turd, you turd. Be sweet, so he'll know what that is. I raised a torty with big-time tortitude who ended up being my devoted friend.
Prince Rupert is AWESOME! Full of spit and vinegar.
4K please.
I just wanna say my left and right 'earphone' are opposites to the sound and I kept checking whether th right earphone is on my right ear. I am confused, I need answers. Thanks. My earphones are the ones from samsung btw.
I can't believe I'm only learnig about binaural just now. Its just a whole new world. Thank you!
Ok, here's a geek question for you: Is the arc of a rainbow perfectly circular or elliptical and why?
Are those audiotechnica ath m30's?
Because if they are then we have the same headphones, and I'm an audio engineer, which says alot about your choice in headphones.
Hearing this with Sony WH-1000XM3 just felt like i was there
Of course there has to be some a-hole, flying rich a-holes around above the waterfall in a helicopter to disrupt everyone else's experience.
Dustin! Please be careful with Prince Rupert's tail!!!!
Stop with the claws out ! That's what puss is seeing when your hand is in that configuration Think about it ! Your fingers are claws but when you make a fist it's like a cat's foot with its claws withdrawn . Just stroke him while he can see your hand closed and see the difference also never go over the head when petting
Very cool! Why is this not the default mode for recording sound in videos? It is certainly more engaging!
Did Livingstone really “discover” the falls? Maybe in the same sense that millions of others have “discovered” them before and since.
He was the first known who made them public.
You should definitely do one of the Saturn V Hall at the space and rocket centre.
This might not be the right channel for you to explain this on, but I always wondered where does this water come from and where does it go? It's just so much water that I can't wrap my head around it. Is it as simple as one Ocean/Sea to another? I guess I'm just use to rivers and falls that come from mountain top rain melt :)
Its a 2500km long river collecting water from the jungle, much like the Amazon. It's still mind boggling.
😎 video! Please send sound traveller to Star Ship launch. Please, pretty please!
No safety rails along that footpath...yet with the mist it could get slippery or with the excitement it can lead to some dangers. That is negligent of the authorities.
3:10 why it has the sound of a gas pipe open and flowing on top of the actual sound of water crushing on itself. whenever the camera is near the fall, that Open gas Pipe sound appear again.
If you really want to know how much water is in the atmosphere and falls as rain then this video just shows you and all this from just one of earth's rivers.
correction, second tallest largest waterfall inthe world, cuz #1 is located in brazil / argentina
I feel like I’ve scene this In Lords of the rings… total middle earth mind trip. Great vid
Are there any good iPhone apps that have 3D sound like these videos?
I think it’d be neat to find a nice app to listen to now and then.
Awesome and almost terrifying many thanks from NZ
Almost sounds like they added falcon heavy liftoff sound here
So you have a microphone near your left ear an a microphone near your right ear. Then,, you overlay the audio to the correct channel ?
Lucky you made it in time. Today there's but a trickle left.
I can't be the only one who wants to buy a cheap boat go down the falls with a parachute on then parachute down them???
WOW, so glad I found out about this channel.
I promise you , if i had the money i would make videos like this, it is my dream for about 5 years now
Put the playing speed to 1.5x
What do you do about prince rupert's droppings in the garden?
Thats my home country!!!! I have been there about 5 times and these are the exact sounds I hear all the time
Kind of surprised at how European this looks. I always thought a place in the middle of Africa would look different.
With the spray from the falls its essentially raining 24/7, much like the UK.
You're surprised its not desert and starving children huh?
The vegetation is distinctly Southern African
this is awesome :D. Would be nice with 360 video as well.
loose the darn cat, just an annoying distraction, ok to feature the cat, but not two features
at the same time
My left headphone is like 50% blown so this doesn't work to well
Dude you are a genius. I love the idea of these videos. Thank you.
Is this louder than the Falcon Heavy ??
my Old TV made this same sound when there's no signal.
I am the only one that was bothered by the choppy sound?
Kind of sucks I'm deaf in the right ear.
