Victoria Falls & Beyond Stunning natural spectacle | Africa’ s adventure capital | Wildlife experiences
As jaw-dropping today as it was to David Livingstone in 1855, Victoria Falls( known as Mosi-oa-Tunya- the smoke that thunders) straddles the borders of Zambia and Zimbabwe and is a true blockbuster. Wider than Niagara and higher than Iguazu, Victoria Falls is the world’ s greatest curtain of falling water and one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
The lion’ s share of the falls are in Zimbabwe and it’ s here that you’ ll get the best overall impression of their sheer scale.

Thrill seekers can try their hand at white water rafting, bungee jumping or take to the sky in a helicopter. Those who prefer a more sedate pace can opt for a river cruise or a trip aboard a classic steam train.
Wildlife enthusiasts have the opportunity for a safari adventure in one of the private game reserves in the Victoria Falls National Park. Upstream from Victoria Falls is the Zambezi National Park, which boasts four of the Big Five: elephant, lion, buffalo and leopard.
