| Description: | The Victoria Falls are some of the world’s most impressive waterfalls. The Zambezi River, which at this point is over 2 km wide, deafeningly nose-dives down a sequence of basalt gorges and raises a shimmering mist-visible over 20 km away. --WHMNet paraphrase from the description at WHC Site, where additional information is available. | |
| The Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders) is a waterfall situated in southern Africa between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls are, by some measures, the largest waterfall in the world, as well as being among the most unusual in form, and having arguably the most diverse and easily seen wildlife of any major waterfall site. --Wikipedia.
