The explorer David Livingston of Scotland, who traveled to the area in 1855, gave the waterfall its name in honor of Queen Victoria. The nearby town is also named after the researcher. The locals called it "Thundering Smoke". It is up to 1800m wide and up to 120m high. The special thing is that its water forms a thick fog when it falls. In good conditions it can be seen up to 20 km away.
The waterfall is definitely worth a visit in order not to miss this natural spectacle.
