Victoria Falls lies on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls is essentially a sheet of falling water about 350 feet high by about 5,700 feet wide. There are 4 major portions to the falls. From left to right these are: The Devil’s Cataract, Main Falls, Rainbow Falls, and the Eastern Cataract. The native name of the falls is Mosi-oa-Tunya, which means “smoke that thunders”
Victoria has many spectacular waterfalls — from the popular MacKenzie Falls in Grampians National Park to the more remote Raymond Falls in Snowy River National Park. High rainfall in winter and spring generates spectacular waterfalls, while in summer and times of drought some falls are reduced to a mere trickle over rocky walls.
Many of Victoria’s most significant waterfalls are protected within national and state parks, and are generally easily accessible via marked tracks and boardwalks. Hopkins Falls, near Warrnambool, and Trentham Falls, near Daylesford are both impressive waterfalls not located within parks and reserves.
