Largest waterfall in the world

One of the most well-known facts of Victoria Falls is it is the largest waterfall in the world. As the Zambezi River's halfway point, Victoria Falls may be seen in all of its splendor from both Zambia and Zimbabwe, both countries in Africa. Five hundred million gallons of water per second can pour over the brink of the basalt cliff at Victoria Falls, making it the largest waterfall in the world. It's possible that certain attractions will be temporarily closed or will need reservations. Possible changes to hours and availability.

Because Victoria Falls is the largest waterfall in the world, it is regarded as one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The massive waterfall is 1688 meters long (equivalent to the length of the river) and descends 108 meters over a basalt cliff to continue the Zambezi River below. Four of them are in Zimbabwe, while one is in Zambia. In Zimbabwe, they are known as The Devil's Cataract, Main Falls, Rainbow Falls, and Horseshoe Falls, while in Zambia, they are known as the Eastern Cataract.

The upper Zambezi river is thought to have diverted to the east about a million years ago, causing the waterfall. The river was redirected over a bed of basalt that is 305 meters thick. Basalt fissures are created by cooled molten lava.
