Victoria Falls is one of the world’s highest and most breathtaking waterfalls. On the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe in south-central Africa, it was “discovered” in 1855 by a Scottish missionary and named after Queen Victoria. However, the African people have known about it and revered it for millennia and call it Mosi oa Tunya, the smoke that thunders.
