Mosi-oa-Tunya – The Smoke That Thunders.
Since time immemorial, humans have been fascinated by the sheer power of the geological marvel we call the Victoria Falls, the greatest falling curtain of water in the world. The Falls mark the dramatic transformation of the broad, placid, slow-moving Zambezi River into a raging, angry torrent that crashes into a foaming chasm before racing through gorges carved deep below the surrounding countryside. To bear witness to this phenomenon, we cannot help but consider our own mortality and what place we occupy in nature. 
Experience Victoria Falls, renowned for adventure activities and canoe safaris, as well as being the starting point for the finest traditional safaris in Africa. There is a full range of options for everyone, including budget travellers, safari specialists, honeymoon couples and families.
Zambia may not offer the best view of the Victoria Falls, but there is a wealth of activities available, from gentle canoe trips, to adventurous white-water rafting. There is a self guided Zambezi river walk, among potentially dangerous game such as elephant and buffalo, which is one of the most unique walking experiences in Africa. Those who enjoy fishing can try and catch the fierce tiger fish. Discover the fascinating history of the Falls by visiting the Livingstone Museum or the specialist Railway Museum to learn about how integral rail transport was to the region. Zambian Accommodation
The Victoria Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world, and is known as one of Africa’s adventure capitals. The Zimbabwean side of the falls offers some of the best views of the falls. Explore the unique rain forest ecosystem created by the spray from the Falls, which boasts rare orchids and pretty pink wild ginger.
Thrill seekers can enjoy one of the world’s highest bungee jumps from the Victoria Falls Bridge. Or get wet, white water rafting in the gorge. Thrilling flights such as the “Flight of the Angels” offer fantastic aerial views of the falls. Zimbabwe Lodge and Hotel Accommodation
Shrouded in mythology, the Victoria Falls has moved and inspired millions of people since it first became known to the outside world more than 150 years ago. The most dramatic spots to visit include:
- Boiling Pot and Palm Grove
- Danger Point
- Devils Cataract
- Eastern Cataract
