The name "Mosi-oa-Tunya" comes from the Lozi language (an indigenous people), and is now used throughout Zambia and parts of Zimbabwe. Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park covers 66 sq.km from the Songwe Gorge below the falls along approximately 20 km of the Zambia River. It forms the southwestern boundary of the town of Livingstone and has two main parts, each with separate entrances: a wildlife park at its northwestern end, and an area adjacent to Victoria Falls itself.

The white rhinoceros (Latin: Ceratotherium simum) is the largest representative of the rhinoceros family. Despite the name, the color of the white rhinoceros differs slightly from the color of the black one, and this name, apparently, came from the distortion of the Boer word wijde (means: wide, broad-snouted), which the English changed in sound to "white". From the English, the name passed into other languages. The main difference between the white rhinoceros and the black one is the wide flat upper lip (the black one has a pointed lip in the form of a proboscis). This structure is quite consistent with its purpose: the main food of the white rhinoceros is not bushes, but grassy vegetation. When grazing, the animal bites off grass at the very ground, and the sharp keratinized edge of the lower lip compensates for the missing incisors.
