Which waterfall forms part of the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe?

Victoria Falls forms part of the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe on the Zambezi River.

The falls are about 1,708 metres wide and drop roughly 108 metres into a narrow gorge. Their immense curtain of water produces a spray cloud that can be seen from a considerable distance, especially during the high-flow season. The local Lozi name, Mosi-oa-Tunya, means “The Smoke That Thunders.”

Scottish explorer David Livingstone saw the falls in 1855 and named them Victoria Falls in honour of Queen Victoria. The Indigenous name remains official and widely used, particularly in Zambia and Zimbabwe. National parks on both sides protect the surrounding landscape.

Victoria Falls is sometimes called the world's largest waterfall, but that description refers to its combined width and height, not to a single measure. Niagara Falls has a much larger flow in popular comparisons, while Angel Falls is far higher. The Zambezi's seasonal flow strongly affects the appearance of the falls and the amount of spray.
