Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, has a rich history dating back thousands of years. Initially inhabited by indigenous tribes like the Kololo and Leya, the falls were considered sacred. In 1855, Scottish missionary David Livingstone became the first European to witness the falls, naming them after Queen Victoria. The British South Africa Company built the Victoria Falls Bridge in 1900, and after Zambia and Zimbabwe's independence in 1964, the falls were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1989. Today, Victoria Falls, or "Mosi-oa-Tunya" ("The Smoke that Thunders"), remains a breathtaking spectacle, attracting millions of visitors annually.
