'''Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park''' (Sotho: ''Musi oa Thunya'' ['''Mosi wa Tunya'''] "''The Smoke Which Thunders''"), is an [[UNESCO]] World Heritage site<ref>[http://whc.unesco.org/pg.cfm?cid=31&id_site=509 Unesco World Heritage List website accessed 1 March 2007]</ref> that is home to one half of the Mosi-oa-Tunya ''— 'The Smoke Which Thunders' —'' known worldwide as [[Victoria Falls]] on the [[Zambezi River]].
