Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls is the largest curtain of falling water on Earth, stretching approximately 1,708 meters (5,600 feet) wide and plunging up to 108 meters (354 feet) into the Batoka Gorge. During peak flow in April, over 500 million liters of water cascade over the edge each minute, creating a mist that rises over 400 meters and can be seen from 50 kilometers away.

The falls are part of the Zambezi River, Africa's fourth-longest river, which serves as the natural border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. The surrounding area is protected by national parks: Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe and Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia.
