Victoria Falls

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.
