Victoria Falls, also known as Mosi-oa-Tunya ("The Smoke That Thunders"), is a majestic waterfall located on the Zambezi River, straddling the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It's renowned for its sheer size and breathtaking beauty, making it one of the world's most iconic natural wonders.
The falls stretch across a width of 1,708 meters (5,604 feet) and plummet over a height of 108 meters (354 feet), creating a thunderous cascade of water that generates a massive cloud of mist. This mist, along with the rainbows it produces, adds to the spectacle of Victoria Falls.
