The Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders) is a waterfall situated in southern Africa on the Zambezi River between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls are, by some measures, the most enormous waterfall in the world, as well as being among the most unusual in form, and having arguably the most diverse and easily seen wildlife of any major waterfall site.

Die Victoriafälle sind ein Wasserfall des Sambesi an der Grenze zwischen Simbabwe und Sambia, zwischen den Grenzstädten Victoria Falls und Livingstone.
Von der UNESCO wurden die Victoriafälle 1989 zum Weltnaturerbe erklärt.
Die einheimischen Kololo nennen den Wasserfall Mosi-oa-Tunya = „Donnernder Rauch“. Der Name stammt vom Sprühnebel, der bis zu 300 m aufsteigt und noch in 30 km Entfernung zu sehen ist. Dieser entsteht, weil die Wassermassen des Sambesi sich auf einer Breite von 1708 m über eine 110 m abfallende Felswand ergießen. Damit sind die Viktoriafälle der breiteste einheitlich herabstürzende Wasserfall der Erde.
