Victoria Falls National Park.

Victoria Falls National Park encompasses the most dramatic two-thirds of the world’s largest falling curtain of water. Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or "The Smoke That Thunders," the site is defined by a unique rainforest ecosystem sustained entirely by the falls' perpetual spray. A network of stone paths leads through the dense greenery to sixteen distinct viewpoints, including Danger Point and the Main Falls, where the mist is heavy enough to require a poncho even on cloudless days. Beyond the primary cataracts, the park’s woodlands are home to migratory elephants, white rhinos, and buffalo. During a full moon, the park stays open late for "moonbow" tours, offering a rare look at lunar rainbows formed by the light reflecting off the massive vapor clouds rising from the gorge.
