Victoria Falls, Zamia Affrica - Most Amazing and Beautiful
Victoria Falls, or Mosi-oa-Tunya is a waterfall in southern Africa on the Zambezi River at the outskirt of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
David Livingstone, the Scottish minister and pioneer, is accepted to have been the first European to view Victoria Falls on 16 November 1855 from what is currently known as Livingstone Island, one of two area masses amidst the waterway, promptly upstream from the falls on the Zambian side. Livingstone named his revelation out of appreciation for Queen Victoria, yet the indigenous name, Mosi-oa-Tunya—"the smoke that thunders"—proceeds in like manner utilization also. The adjacent national stop in Zambia, for instance, is named Mosi-oa-Tunya, while the national stop and town on the Zimbabwean shore are both named Victoria Falls. The World Heritage List formally perceives both names.
In 2013 the administration of Zimbabwe pronounced its aim to formally rename the falls "Mosi-oa-Tunya", refering to progression with different renamings, for example, Harare (from Salisbury), and Zimbabwe (from Rhodesia).

Livingstone named his revelation out of appreciation for Queen Victoria, yet the indigenous name, Mosi-oa-Tunya—"the smoke that thunders"—proceeds in like manner utilization also. The close-by national stop in Zambia, for instance, is named Mosi-oa-Tunya, while the national stop and town on the Zimbabwean shore are both named Victoria Falls. The World Heritage List authoritatively perceives both names.
In 2013 the administration of Zimbabwe proclaimed its proposition to authoritatively rename the falls "Mosi-oa-Tunya", refering to congruity with different renamings, for example, Harare (from Salisbury), and Zimbabwe (from Rhodesia).
