About Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls, one of the world's most magnificent natural wonders, is located on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, along the Zambezi River. Known locally as "Mosi-oa-Tunya," meaning "The Smoke That Thunders," the falls span about 1.7 kilometers (1 mile) in width and plunge over 100 meters (328 feet) into a gorge below, creating a spectacular mist visible from miles away.
With its powerful flow, the falls generate a roaring sound, and during the rainy season, it's the largest sheet of falling water in the world. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site, attracting tourists for its breathtaking views, adventure activities like white-water rafting, and its rich surrounding wildlife.
