Victoria Falls Visitor Center - Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe - Ranger Stations on Waymarking.com

The Victoria Falls, on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in 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. Livingstone named his discovery in honour of Queen Victoria, but the indigenous name, Mosi-oa-Tunya—"the smoke that thunders"—continues in common usage as well.

The two national parks at the falls are relatively small—Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park (Zambia) is 66 square kilometres and Victoria Falls National Park (Zimbabwe) is 23 square kilometres. Animals can move between the two national parks and can also reach other nearby parks.

The most notable aspect of the area's vegetation is the rainforest nurtured by the spray from the falls, containing plants rare for the area such as pod mahogany, ebony, ivory palm, wild date palm and a number of creepers and lianas. Vegetation has suffered in recent droughts, and so have the animals that depend on it, particularly the antelope.
