Victoria Falls, located on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, is world-famous primarily for its status as the "largest curtain of falling water" on the planet. While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall, its combined width of 1,708 meters (5,604 ft) and height of 108 meters (354 ft) create the largest single sheet of flowing water in existence. It is known locally as "Mosi-oa-Tunya" (The Smoke That Thunders), a name that perfectly describes the massive columns of spray that can be seen from over 30 miles away and the deafening roar of the Zambezi River plunging into the Batoka Gorge. The falls are a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Beyond the sheer visual spectacle, the area is famous as a global "adventure capital," offering unique experiences like swimming in the "Devil's Pool" at the very edge of the abyss during the dry season, white-water rafting on the world-class rapids of the Zambezi, and bungee jumping from the Victoria Falls Bridge. Its unique geology—a series of zig-zagging gorges created by the river eroding cracks in the basalt plateau—makes it a fascination for geologists and nature lovers alike.
