VICTORIA FALLS
Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Wonders
of the World. David Livingstone, the Scottish
missionary and explorer, is believed to have
been the first European to view Victoria Falls
on 16 November 1855, from what is now
known as Livingstone Island, one of two land
masses in the middle of the river, immediately
upstream from the falls on the Zambian side.
Livingstone named his discovery in honour of
Queen Victoria of Britain, but the indigenous
Tonga name, Mosi-oa-Tunya — “The Smoke
That Thunders” — continues in common
usage as well. The World Heritage List officially
recognizes both names.
The nearby national park in Zambia is
named Mosi-oa-Tunya, whereas the national
park and town on the Zimbabwean shore are
both named Victoria Falls.
