Call for help; if there is a life ring and rope available, toss it past them (so that the rope falls near them).

Remember the 4 basic rules of lifesaving; "Reach, Throw, Row, Go"... in other words, if they're close enough that you can reach them, or use a pole or other object, do that first. Second, throw a life ring, rope, or line. Third, go after them in a small boat, Go (as in jumping in) should always be the last resort, because then there are two of you in the water, and one of them is already panicking.

When was Victoria falls explored?

One could say that Victoria Falls has always been a wonder - since humankind first laid eyes on it. The complication in this question is that there is no official list of wonders. Instead, there are many lists, compiled by many sources along many different themes, of which Victoria Falls is included in some, but not others. We should appreciate Victoria Falls for the natural wonder that it is - the widest continuously falling sheet of water in the world.
