Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya ('The Smoke that Thunders'), is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Plunging 108 meters into the Batoka Gorge, the falls create a continuous spray visible from miles away. Visitors can view the falls from numerous viewpoints along the Zimbabwean side, including the iconic Knife-Edge Bridge. The surrounding Victoria Falls National Park is home to diverse wildlife, and the nearby town offers bungee jumping, white-water rafting, and helicopter flights over the falls. The experience is both awe-inspiring and immersive, with rainbows often forming in the mist.
