The Victoria Falls is considered to be the largest waterfall in the world. They are not the widest waterfall or the highest waterfall but with all dimensions taken into account, including almost the largest flow rate, they are considered to be the biggest curtain of falling water in the world.

Determining the "biggest" waterfall depends on whether you measure by height, volume, or width. For 2026, Angel Falls (Salto Ángel) in Venezuela remains the undisputed tallest waterfall in the world, with a staggering total height of 979 meters (3,212 feet) and a single uninterrupted drop of 807 meters. However, if you define "biggest" by volume of water flow, the title belongs to the Inga Falls on the Congo River, which discharges roughly 42,000 cubic meters of water per second—though it is more of a series of rapids than a vertical plunge. In terms of a traditional vertical drop with massive volume, Victoria Falls (on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe) is often considered the "largest" overall because it boasts the world's largest sheet of falling water. In 2026, these natural wonders continue to be top destinations for eco-tourism, though Angel Falls requires a significant jungle trek to reach.
