Why Go?
Taking its place alongside the Pyramids and the Serengeti, Victoria Falls (
Mosi-oa-Tunya
- the 'smoke that thunders') is one of Africa's original blockbusters. And although Zimb-
abwe and Zambia share it, Victoria Falls is a place all of its own.
As a magnet for tourists of all descriptions - backpackers, tour groups, thrill seekers,
families, honeymooners - Vic Falls is one of the earth's great spectacles. View it directly as
a raging mile-long curtain of water, in all its glory, from a helicopter ride or peek precari-
ously over its edge from Devil's Pools; the sheer power and force of the falls is something
that simply does not disappoint.
Whether you're here purely to take in the sight of a natural wonder of the world, or for a
serious hit of adrenaline via rafting or bungee jumping into the Zambezi, Victoria Falls is a
place where you're sure to tick off numerous items from that bucket list.
When to Go
There are two main reasons to go to Victoria Falls - to view the falls and to experience the
outdoor activities - and each has its season.
