LoMalayalam’s own superstar Tovino Thomas jumped down from near the biggest waterfall in Khattu. Tovino has amazed his fans by bungee jumping from the top of the famous Victoria Falls on the Zambia-Zimbawe border. Tovino did the bungee jumping from the ‘Historic Bridge’ across the Zambezi River, the fourth largest river in Africa, home to the Victoria Falls.
“Every rise starts with a fall. Here I am learning to handle the falls so that someday I can fly,” Tovino shared the video. When he jumped from Zimbabwe, he wandered in Zambia. Tovino also noted that he enjoyed bungee jumping a lot.
Fans are giving interesting comments on the video which has gone viral. Tovino, the hero of Malayalam’s own superhero movie Minnal Murali, was asked by a fan, ‘Is he really struck by lightning?’
Tovino shared the details of his trip to Africa with his family earlier. A selfie video with a lion during a safari in Botswana and pictures of an Easter celebration from Africa were hits on social media.
Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls is located on the Zambezi River on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe in Southern Africa. It is the tallest and widest waterfall in the world. This waterfall is considered as one of the great wonders of nature. The waterfall was named Victoria by David Livingston, a Scottish missionary and traveler who first discovered the falls. This naming was a tribute to the British Queen.
Victoria Falls is a 1708 meter wide waterfall. The water falls from twice as high as Niagara. Apart from viewing the falls, there are many tourists who come to enjoy swimming in the Devil’s Pool at the Victoria Falls and sitting on the Devil’s Armchair at the edge of the pool. Many adventure activities are also arranged here, including bungee jumping. Victoria Falls is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Africa. Most tourists come here through Zambia.
From November to April the water level will be higher. The rest of the time the amount of water will be low. The falls are best seen when the water is low.
