Victoria Falls (in Sotho language, Mosi-oa-Tunya, "The Smoke That Thunders"; in Tonga language, Shungu Namutitima, "Boiling Water") is a waterfall on the Zambezi River located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, and is one of the world's largest waterfalls due to its width of 1,708 m (5,604 ft). Devil's Cataract, on the Zimbabwe side of the Falls, is the lowest of the five Falls, with a drop of 60 m (196.85 ft). It is separated from the rest of the Falls by Boaruka Island, also known as Cataract Island.
