Victoria Falls is a waterfall on the Zambezi river on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia.David Livingstone, the Scottish missionary and explorer, is believed to have been the first European to view Victoria Falls.Livingstone named his discovery in honor of Queen Victoria, but the indigenous Lozi language name, Most-oa-Tunya "The Smoke That Thunders"- continues in common usage as well.
While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, Victoria Falls is classified as the largest, based on its combined width of 1,708 meters (5,604 feet) and height of 108 meters )354 feet), resulting in the world's largest sheet of falling water. Victoria Falls is roughly twice the height of North America's Niagara Falls and well over twice the width of Horseshoe Falls.
