The Falls
The Smoke That Thunders
Victoria Falls, locally known as Mosi-oa-Tunya (“The Smoke That Thunders”), is a breathtaking natural wonder, where the Zambezi River plunges over 100 metres, creating a mist that can be seen from miles away.
Straddling the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, it is a place of extraordinary beauty, power and cultural significance.
