Victoria Falls

Name: Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls or otherwise known as Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders) is a waterfall located in southern Africa on the Zambezi River between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe.

In 1855, Scottish explorer David Livingstone came accross this magnificent waterfall while attempting to find a route to the East Coast of the African continent. Travelling south east from Luanda to Sesheke, he encountered the waterfall and named it the Victoria Falls after the British Monarch, Queen Victoria. 

In 1989 Victoria Falls was inscribed as a World Heritage Site. What makes the concept of World Heritage exceptional is its universal application. World Heritage sites belong to all the peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seek to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity.

The Victoria Falls is also known for being one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world and when the river is in flood, the Falls are the largest curtain of falling water in the world. The Falls and the surrounding rainforest are preserved as a 23.4 kilometer National Park and form one of Zimbabwe’s four World Heritage sites.
