Mosi-oa-tunya


Victoria Falls is a waterfall that straddles Zambia and Zimbabwe in Africa. It is also known locally (and far more creatively!) as the Mosi-oa-Tunya or The Smoke that Thunders.

Victoria Falls is claimed to be the largest waterfall in the world, which is no surprise, because it has a width of 1.7 kilometres (1 mile) and a height of 108 metres (360 ft).
