Victoria Falls
One of the seven natural wonders of the world, where the Zambezi drops into a mile-wide curtain of spray on the Zambia-Zimbabwe border.
A mile-wide curtain of water
The Zambezi drops over a kilometre-wide edge in a single sheet, throwing spray hundreds of metres into the air - visible long before you reach it.
Two countries, two views
The Zambian side puts you at the lip of the falls; the Zimbabwean side gives the panorama. Both are worth doing, and a day pass crosses the bridge between them.
More than the falls
Rafting the gorge below, helicopter flights over the horseshoe, and game viewing in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park all sit within a few minutes of the water.
