The Victoria Falls or Mosi-oa-Tunya (the smoke that thunders) form the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. David Livingstone, a British missionary, named them after the British Queen Victoria in 1852. The name Mosi-oa-Tunya is the name given by the local people. The Victoria Falls are the most famous waterfalls in Africa.

''... we came in sight, for the first time, of the columns of vapor appropriately called smoke, rising at a distance of five or six miles, exactly as when large tracts of grass are burned in Africa.'' (Dr. Livingstone, 1855)
