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.
Audrey also has a TH-cam channel, and she would probably freak out if her subscribers doubled (currently at 884 subscribers)

TURN THE VOLUME UP so you can feel what it's actually like to be there.
I've always wanted to go here... but man it's cost prohibitive.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!!😮
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
I grew up in Victoria Falls and this just give me major nostalgia
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!
2:10 goosebumps
Your cat nibbles you and follows your hands with its paws without scratching you.
...your cat is a dog.
"How do you put headphones on a cat"
Man has his priorities straight
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.
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 really really love this channel. I always loved binaural audio.
Keep up the good work, man!
Can't wait for a new video!
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....
The cat is so cool... She is making you do a high five ✋
This is incredible because I woke up really missing the people and experiences from my stay in zimbabwe a year ago. Thanks for bringing me right back to it for a lil while, gave me chills
Had to pause this one a few times - the roar is overwhelming.
I can actually sense the force of the water moving just through this audio. Thanks for these videos~
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.
Thank you so much for taking us to some glorious places
Bro, this was far by far the most relaxing and indluging video i've seen. I really felt like i was there.👍🏾
WOW this content is amazing.!!! Smarter Evday brought me here now....!!!! Thanks Again Destin and all collaborators. !!
Dude you are a genius. I love the idea of these videos. Thank you.
A suggestion. Remind people to balance their headphones too. I have been checking in and the sound was ok Till! I realized I had the balance set for my speakers. Set them 50/50 and wow what a difference. Been watching for a long time. I also enjoy the content with other you tubers. Thank you.
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.
01:18 , experienced cat owners know who hasn't had some "fun" in a long time
Loved it!!
Loved the rainbows😍😍
Want more videos like it!!!
That place is gorgeous.
Amazing. I can feel the force of water in my ears.
I can't believe I'm only learnig about binaural just now. Its just a whole new world. Thank you!
The Smoke That Thunders is amazing.
Can almost feel it while listening.
That was amazing! Thank you!
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.
WOW, so glad I found out about this channel.
image and audio it's very very good quality. Thanks for the trip!
Also sounds awesome with speakers and a sub connected to the tv! Then more than one can watch😊. Great concept guys!
Does anyone else notice an eye in the cloud (top right side) at 7:03 O.o
Wow that water is really loud. What an experience, thanks.
Not that VR has taken off yet but stereoscopic video and binaural audio would be insane to sit down and enjoy. Thumbs up Audrey
You are amazing bro. I like how you mentioned what the locals call the falls.
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!
amazing sound and video thx ;)
This is so peaceful
AWESOME! Thank you :)
This video really moved me. I found the combination of the visuals and the thundering roar of the falls to be terrifying. Even from the safety of my room on the other side of the world. What an overwhelming location.
This is so cool! Such an immersive experience
Really good video, thank you for your time 😃
Another awesome video!
VERY COOL IDEA MAN , MANY THANKS
nice audio. that warp stabilizer tho
That's actually amazing.
this is awesome :D. Would be nice with 360 video as well.
Amazing :)
I would be interested to see in a future video - 360 video or similar so it can become a full immersion experience with VR
Gotta love that warp stabilizer w the weird warpy things.
Thank you for this, love from the Philippines!
This gave me goosebumps.
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
It's weird because I was there last year. This video is almost as good as being there. Thank you that I was able to experience it again.
Oh. My. God! This is awesome.
I love these videos so so much
Wow this is amazing.. Can I ask, what microphones are you using?
Thanks!
Love it!
You have people going places to film these videos while I get my binaural audio from minecraft
Been to Niagara Falls, very similar sound, I turned the volume up to match the larger size of this one. WOOOOSH!
Woah that is really impressive.
Great! Now I need a wee.
Thats my home country!!!! I have been there about 5 times and these are the exact sounds I hear all the time
what an awesome cat ! he can keeps biting me all day long ❤️
I feel like I was there. Magic
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.
cat with headphones is hillarious!:) great video as well
Its like the static noise^^
Wow great sound want to go there
Awesome and almost terrifying many thanks from NZ
That is weird and amazing at the same time!
I feel like I’ve scene this In Lords of the rings… total middle earth mind trip. Great vid
That cat is so cute
Feel the force of mother nature
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 :)
David Livingstone was not the first person to see the falls but the first European(whiteman) to see the falls.
That is f*cking spectacular!
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.
Lucky you made it in time. Today there's but a trickle left.
3:30 that's wild.
That brought back some memories. They've got a practically identical statue of David Livingstone on the Zambia side.
that was great....
btw... do you have any hidden channels? lol
What kind of recording equipment do you use for the sound traveller project, Destin? I live in Edmonton and after I started listening to The Sound Traveller I've thought the sound of Whyte Ave on a Friday night (drunk people laughing and partying with loud cars revving in the streets) could make an amazing video like this. I also think going to a car meet with a binaural recording set up would be really cool. If this interests you I'd love to provide for such a cool project and if not I'd still like to know for my own purposes. Thank you and keep up the great stuff!!! :D
Dustin! Please be careful with Prince Rupert's tail!!!!
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..
woah, the rumble
I promise you , if i had the money i would make videos like this, it is my dream for about 5 years now
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.
*Can you but it on drone*
Some old famous video like barber shop TH-cam video make it *3D* affect?
Very cool! Why is this not the default mode for recording sound in videos? It is certainly more engaging!
I was there! It was cool, really cool
Your cat is cute..
