Victoria Falls (Lozi: Mosi-oa-Tunya, Thundering Smoke; Tonga: Shungu Namutitima, Boiling Water) is a waterfall on the Zambezi River in southern Africa, which provides habitat for several unique species of plants and animals.

No, Victoria Falls is not in Europe; it is located in Southern Africa, on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is situated on the Zambezi River and is widely considered one of the largest and most spectacular waterfalls in the world. The falls are known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, which translates to "The Smoke that Thunders," a name that perfectly describes the massive plumes of mist that can be seen from miles away. Victoria Falls is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is a premier destination for international tourism, offering activities ranging from white-water rafting and helicopter tours to the famous "Devil's Pool" swim on the edge of the abyss. The region is famous for its incredible biodiversity and its proximity to world-class safari parks like Chobe in Botswana. While Europe has many beautiful waterfalls, such as the Rhine Falls in Switzerland or Gullfoss in Iceland, none match the sheer scale and geological drama of Victoria Falls. For 2026 travelers, the "KAZA Univisa" remains the most convenient way to experience the falls from both the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides in a single trip.
