Victoria Falls

The world's largest waterfall by combined width and height, Victoria Falls straddles the Zambia-Zimbabwe border where the Zambezi River plunges more than 100 metres into a narrow gorge. The site is a UNESCO World Heritage Area on both sides of the border and draws around one million visitors annually, with growing concern from UNESCO and conservationists about unchecked commercial development in sensitive zones adjacent to the falls.
