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.
