Victoria Falls
As the formidable Zambezi River plunges over the rock face and falls over 354 feet into a vortex of swirling water, it forms the largest expanse of falling water in the world, the Victoria Falls. Traditionally known as Mosi-oa-Tunya which, fittingly, means ‘The Smoke that Thunders’, the falls’ impressive roar can often be heard from 25 miles away.
