1. Victoria Falls

2. The famous Victoria Falls on the Zambeze River is located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, in the Livingstone district of Zambia and the Hwange district of
Zimbabwe. They are 1.7 km wide and 108 metres high, an extraordinary spectacle, with water dropping into a narrow and very deep abyss.

4. David Livingstone visited the Falls in 1855 and named them in honor of Queen Victoria. Locally they are still called “Mosi-oa-Tunya”, which means “The smoke that thunders.”
It is one of the greatest tourist atractions on the African continent.
In 1989 UNESCO declared these Falls a Humanity Heritage Site, covering a protected area of 8,780 hectares.
