An amazing spectacle of water and the force of nature
Victoria Falls
Equally enthralling from either the Zimbabwe or Zambian side – or from above via helicopter – Victoria Falls is an unmissable natural wonder. Watch as the powerful Zambezi River spills over and drops 350 feet.

Why Victoria Falls?
One thing is certain when you visit Victoria Falls National Park – you’re going to get wet. The force with which the swollen Zambezi flows over the precipice and crashes onto the rocks below creates a drenching mist. Bring a waterproof!
While admiring the falls from various viewpoints throughout the park is sufficient for most of us, thrillseekers can bungee jump off of the Victoria Falls Bridge into the Batoka Gorge. You can also whitewater raft through the gorge’s Class 5 rapids. A visit to Vic Falls is a Zimbabwe must, and fortunately it’s easy to combine with a safari in neighbouring Hwange Park.
