Victoria Falls, also known as Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders), is a magnificent waterfall located on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe in southern Africa. It is considered one of the most remarkable natural wonders in the world and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The falls are formed by the Zambezi River, which plummets over a width of 1,708 meters (5,604 feet) and drops as much as 108 meters (354 feet) into a narrow gorge below. The resulting spray and mist create a dramatic spectacle, often visible from several kilometers away, hence the name "Smoke that Thunders."

Victoria Falls offers breathtaking views and numerous vantage points from both the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides. The most famous vantage point is called Devil's Cataract, offering an up-close view of the falls. Another popular spot is the Knife-Edge Bridge, which gives visitors a thrilling experience as they walk above the raging waters.

However, even during the rainy season (November to April), the falls offer a unique and more dramatic experience with increased water volume.

Overall, Victoria Falls is a true marvel of nature, captivating visitors with its sheer size, power, and awe-inspiring beauty.
