The Victoria Falls Tour offers visitors the chance to explore one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya (“The Smoke That Thunders”), the falls are the largest curtain of falling water on earth, stretching over 1.7 km and plunging into the Zambezi Gorge.
The tour includes a guided walk through the rainforest, following paths that lead to several viewpoints of the falls from different angles. Along the way, the guide shares information about the history, geology, plants, and wildlife of the area. Depending on the season, guests can experience the falls at different water levels, which greatly changes the viewing experience.
The activity is suitable for guests staying on either the Zambia or Zimbabwe side. Visitors can view the falls from their side of stay, or cross the border (visa permitting) to see the falls from both countries.
This tour requires comfortable walking shoes, rain protection during high-water months, and a camera for capturing the scenery.
