History
Mosi-oa-Tunya has long been central to local Tonga and Lozi cultures; European exploration in the 19th century brought the falls international attention and later cross-border tourism development.
Conservation
The falls sit within transboundary parks; visitor management focuses on trail maintenance and limiting off-path access to protect fragile rainforest and riverine habitats.
