Victoria Falls
One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, Victoria Falls is recognised as the greatest curtain of falling water in the world.
The Deafening Roar of Water Cascading into The Batoka Gorge
Located on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is a majestic waterfall that captivates visitors with its sheer power and the sense of wonder it evokes. Its namesake city is an iconic destination that has rightfully been included on every Southern African itinerary for decades. One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, Victoria Falls is recognised as the greatest curtain of falling water in the world. At the height of the rainy season, between February to May each year, more than five hundred million litres of water are known to plummet over the edge per minute, shooting up a column of spray that is visible from kilometres away. Shared by Zambia to the north, around two-thirds of Victoria Falls lies within Zimbabwe which offers classic views towards the broad expanse of water, with neat paths leading through the rain forest to the Devil’s Cataract, Main Falls, Horseshoe Falls and aptly named Rainbow Falls viewing points.
Experiences for the Adventurous Soul
Victoria Falls with its diverse activities has been drawing travellers to linger for decades. Beyond the waterfall itself, the area offers a playground for adventure seekers and experiences for the adventurous soul. Take a thrilling helicopter flight over the falls, witnessing its magnificence from a bird’s-eye view. Strap on a harness and bungee jump off the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge, feeling the rush of adrenaline as you plummet into the gorge below. Experience the thrill of white-water rafting in the mighty Zambezi River, navigating its exhilarating rapids. For a more serene adventure, embark on a sunset cruise along the Zambezi River, sipping a refreshing drink as you soak in the stunning views. The nearby Zambezi National Park is home to elephants, buffalos, giraffes, and a variety of antelope species, and the Zambezi itself attracts an abundance of birdlife, including African fish eagles, herons, and kingfishers.
