Discover one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World! The spectacular Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe is the largest sheet of falling water on Earth, spanning nearly 2 kilometres. Known locally as Mosi-Oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders), the sheer enormity and force of Victoria Falls as the mighty Zambezi Rivers roars into the Batoka Gorge some 108 metres below, will take your breath away. 

Some of the best ways to take in the magnitude and magnificence of the iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site include helicopter and microlight trips, seeing the Falls from above in the way David Livingstone dreamed: “Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight,” he said when he first discovered the Falls in 1855. A leisurely hike through the rainforest will reward you with up-close views of the mist-shrouded Falls, while the surrounding wilderness, abundant in wildlife, promises a safari experience on par with the best in Africa. 

 Victoria Falls is known as Africa’s Adventure Capital. Situated almost halfway along the Zambezi River and straddling two countries, you’re guaranteed a range of exciting experiences, from bungee jumping to white-water rafting. You can explore the Zambezi River by canoe or motorboat, meet habituated elephants, bungee jump from the historic bridge, zip line (the longest in the world at 425m/1 395ft) across the gorge, and swim in the Devil’s Pool, the world’s ultimate infinity pool. There’s also plenty of shopping and history, as well as lazy days in the sunshine after a bumper safari.
