- Victoria Falls (Lozi: Mosi-oa-Tunya,
"The Smoke that Thunders") is a waterfall in southern
Africa on the Zambezi River at the border between Zambia and
Zimbabwe. I visited here while on an overland journey through
southern Africa. It was the dry season, so the water levels were
relatively low, but still impressive. I can only imagine what
it looks like at the peak of rainy season.
Victoria Falls 2018 While it is neither the highest nor the widest
waterfall in the world, Victoria Falls is classified as the largest,
based on its combined width of 1,708 metres (5,604 ft) and height
of 108 metres (354 ft), resulting in the world's largest sheet
of falling water. Victoria Falls is roughly twice the height
of North America's Niagara Falls
