Victoria Falls is the only famous waterfall in Zimbabwe, and it is an 
awesome sight to behold. More than twice the height and width of North 
America's Niagara Falls, Victoria Falls is considered the largest 
waterfall in the world by volume. As more travelers have made Victoria 
Falls a stop on their itinerary, it has become easier to access and to 
enjoy this natural spectacle.
 Victoria Falls is partly in Zimbabwe and partly in Zambia. The Falls are
 known locally as "the smoke that thunders" because during the rainy 
season, its mist reaches 1,000 ft in the air. In the past, the falls 
were most commonly accessed from the Zimbabwe side, but political 
developments temporarily caused a drop in visitors. As of April 2011, 
the U.S. Department of State had not issued any travel advisories for 
Zimbabwe. The falls can also be accessed from the Zambian side. July 
through September is generally considered the best time to visit because
 of favorable weather and the views available to visitors.
Victoria Falls lies along the Zambezi River, straddling the border 
between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The local Koloko tribe referred to the 
Falls as “Mosi-oa-Tunya,” or “The Smoke That Thunders." The water 
tumbles over a cliff, then flows through a series of gorges which zigzag
 across the countryside. Lush rain forest surrounds the Falls, hosting 
numerous species of wildlife sustained by the Zambezi River.
