Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe Safari Trips & Tours

Adventure activities, spine-tingling views and beautiful lodges? It can only be Victoria Falls.

Iconic and impressive, Victoria Falls is the most visited attraction in Zimbabwe. Justifiably so – the sheer volume of water that tumbles over the 1.6 kilometre-long cliff and plunges 110 metres into the Batoka Gorge is phenomenal, and the fine spray of mist that rises can be seen from almost 50 kilometres away. Both Zambia and Zimbabwe offer spectacular views of the waterfall, but perhaps (just perhaps!) Zimbabwe takes the top spot for the most majestic angles and spine-tingling walks. And if it’s excitement you’re looking for, you’re in the right place – how about bungee jumping, white-water rafting, kayaking, and helicopter and microlight flights? You might just have to come back again…

Things to do

What to do in Victoria Falls

A highlight on any Southern Africa trip, seeing Vic Falls in all its pounding, dramatic, mesmerising glory is unforgettable – and there is plenty to keep you busy in the area. Firstly, we recommend a walk (guided or unguided) to get a feel for the sheer enormity of the waterfall, before taking to the skies and marvelling from above in either a helicopter or a microlight. Both offer incredible views and big, bucket-list ticks. To really get the adrenalin going, there’s a selection of daredevil activities to choose from – bungee jumping, gorge swinging, white water rafting and trips to the iconic Devil’s Pool (exclusively on the Zambian side, but can be arranged from Zimbabwe) spring to mind – but if something more sedate is on the cards, there are languid boat trips on the Zambezi, sundowner cruises and wonderful afternoon teas to enjoy. If safari is on your mind, there are a couple of options to choose from. Zambia’s Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park offers good game viewing of elephant, buffalo, giraffe and zebra (sadly no big cats) as well as fantastic rhino tracking opportunities and walking safaris. Otherwise, take a day trip to Botswana’s Chobe National Park for the Big Five and river cruises to see the hundreds of elephant the park is rightly famous for.

Why you'll love it

Victoria Falls truly is one of the most dramatic sights in the world, and if you’re planning a southern Africa safari and have a few days to spare, a visit is an absolute must.

Off the beaten track

Off the beaten track

If you happen to be at the falls during a full moon, you’re in luck! This is one of the few places in the world where you can witness the a "moonbow" (or lunar rainbow), and the pathways are kept open after dark to give you the best view.

Something to think about

Something to think about

Sadly, the falls don’t always look like they do on the postcards. Water levels fluctuate dramatically between seasons and from year to year, so if it’s the postcard-perfect sight you want, plan carefully!
