The falls are 1708m wide and can be seen from both countries that share it as a border Zimbabwe and Zambia.

A big volume of 1 million cubic litres plunges into a big gorge, in a series of amazing cataracts giving a loud roar and rising spray that can be seen as far away as 100km.Thus the name Mosi-OA-Tunya, Tonga for "The smoke that thunders."
