Victoria Falls, located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, is one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders. Known locally as "Mosi-oa-Tunya" or "The Smoke That Thunders," the falls span approximately 1.7 kilometers (1.1 miles) and drop over 100 meters (328 feet) into the Zambezi Gorge. The powerful cascade produces a mist that can be seen from miles away. Victoria Falls is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a major tourist attraction, offering breathtaking views, adventure activities like bungee jumping and white-water rafting, and opportunities for wildlife viewing in the surrounding national parks.
