Victoria Falls, also Mosi-oa-Tunya,
waterfall in south central Africa, on the Zambezi River, on the border between
Zimbabwe and Zambia. The river, here more than 1.6 km (1 mi) wide, plunges 110 m
(360 ft). A railroad bridge, completed in 1905, spans the gorge below the falls.
The name Victoria was given to the falls by the Scottish missionary and explorer
David Livingstone, who visited it in 1855.
