About
Discover the history of Victoria Falls
On the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, Victoria Falls is renowned for one of the world's largest waterfalls, locally called "Mosi-oa-Tunya," the Smoke that Thunders. Well-maintained trails offer views of the cascading waters from multiple angles, while the surrounding tropical forest is home to diverse wildlife, visible on safaris in nearby parks. The Zambezi River invites swimming in natural pools, white-water rafting, and sunset cruises. Sunny days are perfect for hiking, photography, and outdoor activities, while local cultural shows complete your discovery of this Southern African region.
