Ok, so for the purposes of your particular question we shall simply use the official boundaries as established by our 🇿🇲 🇿🇼 colonizers : The total length of the gorge is about 1,700m and it has 6 distinct falls - from west to east they are ; 1. the Devils Cataract, 2. the Main Falls, 3. the Horseshoe Falls, 4. the Rainbow Falls, 5. the Armchair Falls, 6. the Eastern Cataract. Now here is where people always get confused - there is a distnct difference between the gorge over which the Zambezi River drops & the gorge from where people view the falls. Firstly, on the gorge over which the Zambezi River drops and forms the actual Mosi-oa-Tunya (Victoria) Falls the boundary between the two countries is on the western side of Livingstone Island i.e. the Island is on the Zambian side (this is where Devils Pool is by the way) meaning Zimbabwe has about 650m of the actual falls and Zambia has about 1km of the actual falls. Secondly, the gorge from which people can view the falls from which is kind of 'split' by the Zambezi River below the falls is about 1km on the Zimbabwean side and about 600m on the Zambian side. This means that Zim has a much wider view of the falls than Zed but in fact almost half of what the Zim viewers look at is actually Zambian territory. So in effect of the 6 falls l meantioned above falls 1 & 2 which are to the west of Livingstone Island are in Zimbabwe whereas 3, 4, 5 & 6 are in Zambia but 1,2,3 and 4 are viewed from Zimbabwe!! This is also why Zimbabwe has more viewing points (16) than Zambia (about 9) of Victoria Falls. A long explanation l know but it was the only way to fully describe what I needed to. To cap it all off lets just say the falls are shared by the two countries and leave it there.
