Victoria Falls is located on which African river?

Victoria Falls is located on which African river? It is located on the Zambezi River.

The Zambezi forms the dramatic waterfall on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls are known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning “The Smoke That Thunders,” a name inspired by the immense spray cloud produced when the river plunges into a narrow gorge.

Victoria Falls is about 1,708 metres wide and 108 metres high. Its unusual distinction comes from the combination of width and height: it creates the world’s largest sheet of falling water under commonly cited definitions. The Zambezi’s seasonal flow changes the appearance of the falls, with peak flood conditions usually occurring during the Southern Hemisphere’s autumn.

David Livingstone visited the falls in 1855 and named them after Queen Victoria, but local communities had known the site long before European exploration. The Congo, Orange and Limpopo are major African rivers, yet none passes over Victoria Falls.
