About Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park
Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park is a national park in Zambia and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to one-half of the Mosi-oa-Tunya—"The Smoke that Thunders", known worldwide as Victoria Falls—on the Zambezi River. As the river forms the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, the falls are shared by these two countries, and the park is twin to the Victoria Falls National Park on the Zimbabwean side. ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ comes from the Kololo or Lozi language, and the name is now used throughout Zambia and in parts of Zimbabwe.
