Victoria Falls, also Mosi-oa-Tunya, waterfall, south central Africa, on the Zambezi River, on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. The river, here nearly 1.6 km (1 mi) wide, plunges about 108 m (355 ft). A railway bridge, completed in 1905, spans the gorge below the falls. The name Victoria was given to the falls by the Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone, who visited it in 1855.
