Victoria Falls

On the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia lie Africa’s widest waterfalls: a curtain of water over 1,700 metres wide and 100 metres high. Wow, how cool is that! This world wonder is perfect to combine with Botswana, an absolute must-see in the region!

The smoke that thunders

Every minute, around 500 million litres of water thunder over the cliff into the abyss… A huge amount of water rises in the form of mist, which is why the people of Zambia have given Victoria Falls a rather hard-to-pronounce nickname: Mosi-oa-Tunya. Simply put: The smoke that thunders. Or even simpler: the thundering smoke. From various viewpoints, you can admire the falls—across their width, length, or even from a helicopter perspective if you're willing to spend a little extra.

A dip in Devil’s Pool

Adrenaline junkies can take a dip in Devil’s Pool, located on the edge of Livingstone Island in the Zambian part. This natural kiddie pool—cough—sits at the very edge of Victoria Falls and is only open from mid-August to mid-January, depending on the Zambezi water levels. Does your inner self scream for more adrenaline? Then take the plunge as you dangle by a thin thread, going over the waterfall and swinging upside down!

Wildlife in and around the Zambezi River

The Zambezi River itself is perfect for drifting along as the sun slowly sets towards the horizon. The river forms the boundary between Zambia and Zimbabwe from the Victoria Falls. Groups of hippos grunt loudly to mark their territory, while hungry crocodiles lie in wait for a careless evening meal that can be easily snatched. Along the banks, a group of elephants occasionally strolls towards the water to quench their thirst, and birds glide peacefully overhead.
