Victoria Falls, located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, is one of the most breathtaking natural wonders of the world. Known locally as “Mosi-oa-Tunya,” which means “The Smoke That Thunders,” the falls are famous for their immense scale and power.
Stretching approximately 1.7 kilometers (1 mile) wide and plunging 108 meters (354 feet) into the Zambezi River gorge, Victoria Falls is considered the largest waterfall in the world based on its combined width and height. The spray from the cascading water can rise hundreds of meters into the air and is visible from several kilometers away, creating a stunning visual spectacle.
