Explore the Majestic Victoria Falls
No trip to Victoria Falls is complete without visiting the world-famous waterfall.
The incredible sight and sound of millions of litres of water flowing into the Batoka Gorge creates one of the most impressive natural spectacles in Africa.
Depending on the season, visitors can experience different views and characteristics of the falls.
During the high-water season, the powerful spray creates the famous “Smoke That Thunders” effect. During lower water periods, visitors may enjoy clearer views of the dramatic rock formations and deep Batoka Gorge.
Remember to bring comfortable walking shoes and protect your camera or mobile phone from the spray when exploring the rainforest surrounding the falls.
