GeographyRivers and waterfalls

Quick Answer

The Zambezi River is the source of Victoria Falls. It drops about 108 meters at the falls on the Zambia–Zimbabwe border.

The Full Story

Victoria Falls is formed by the Zambezi River, one of Africa’s major rivers. The waterfall straddles the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe and drops about 108 meters into a narrow gorge. Local and early colonial names varied, but the Zambezi has long been central to the geography and culture of the region. The falls are one of the world’s largest sheets of falling water, especially during the rainy season. Their scale comes from the river’s width and the series of basalt gorges it has carved.
