Victoria Falls is a must-do Zimbabwean destination. It‘s home to one of the largest waterfalls in the world, it’s the adrenalin capital of Africa, and has hotels to satisfy every taste. Go white-water rafting, bungee jumping, and abseiling – all around the magnificent Zambezi River. If you’re a wildlife lover, you can go on a range of safaris, from canoe-based ones, to conventional game drives, to horseback excursions. You can fly above the falls in a helicopter or go on a sunset river cruise. I’m sure that all visitors to Victoria Falls will share one thing: the unforgettable exhilaration of being in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Here’s my Victoria Falls travel guide, giving everything you need to know to plan your visit. I focus specifically on the Zimbabwean side of Victoria Falls, not the Zambian side.
Victoria Falls is the biggest sheet of falling water in the world: twice as high and 1.5 times wider than Niagara Falls. It’s 1.7 km wide (just longer than a mile), over 100 metres high, and the spray of the water is visible from up to 70 km (43 miles) away.
Confusingly, “Victoria Falls” is the name of the waterfall itself, and the town on the Zimbabwean side of the falls, and the National Park on the Zimbabwe side. Victoria Falls (the waterfall) is shared between Zimbabwe and Zambia because it forms the border between these two countries. The town on the Zambian side is called Livingstone, and it receives a higher amount of tourism traffic.
