 * the victoria falls in zimbabwe is a listed world heritage stie. the victoia falls is also kown to the natives as **** //Mosi-o-Tunya. M osi-o-Tunya// **** means smoke that thunders it is the largest water fall on the world mesuring at 1708 meters wide,making it the largest curtain of water in the world.it drops 90m and 107m into the zambezi gorge at an avrage of 550,000 cubic merers for water plumeting over the falls. **
 * The falls and associated gorges are an outstanding example of river capture and the erosive forces of the water still continues to sculpture the hard basalts. The complex of conservation areas in Zimbabwe covers over 1,846,700 ha excluding forest reserves. The park abuts Dambwa Forest Reserve in Zambia. The falls are the most significant feature of the park, and when the Zambezi is in full flood (usually February or March) they form the largest curtain of falling water in the world.**


 * Below the falls the river enters a narrow series of gorges which represent locations successively occupied by the falls earlier in their history. Since the uplifting of the Makgadikgadi Pan area some 2 million years ago, the Zambezi River has been cutting through the basalt, exploiting weak fissures and forming a series of retreating gorges. Seven previous waterfalls occupied the seven gorges below the present falls, and Devil's Cataract in Zimbabwe is the starting point for cutting back to a new waterfall that will eventually leave the present lip high above the river in the gorge below.**
