Victoria Falls is located along a stretch of the Zambezi River, forming a natural border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Locally described as 'The Smoke that Thunders', the falls generate incredible noise caused by a large expanse of rushing water plummeting 300 feet into the gorge below.
As you stroll along the Zimbabwean side, soak in the range of spectacular views from the various vantage points along the way through the rainforest pathways. Not only that, but Victoria Falls also hosts many adrenaline-pumping activities such as white-water rafting and ziplining as well as canopy and helicopter tours. For a more leisurely pace, you can even opt to experience a breathtaking sunset cruise up the Zambezi or climb aboard a luxurious stream train and journey to the Victoria Falls Bridge, accompanied by a sundowner and delicious five-course meal.
