The Victoria Falls is a dramatic natural wonder of the world as well as a World Heritage Site. It certainly is a sight not to be missed: the clouds of spray generated by this thunderous descent have resulted in a lush rain forest full of stunning wild flowers and the most spectacular views of the Falls are from the Zambian side of the gorge.

Various optional activities are on offer including canoeing and languorous sunset river cruises on the tranquil Upper Zambezi above the falls. To gain an overall impression of the Falls, the helicopter 'Flight of Angels' is considered essential by some. For the more adventurous, micro light flights, terrifying bungee jumping and arguably the best commercial white water rafting in the world are all available. Game drives and horse riding are also offered in the Zambezi National Park to view elephant and buffalo as well as elephant interactions.

The best time to view the Falls is probably between April/May and August when the spray is less so that the Falls are easier to capture on film and yet the flow of water is still impressive. As the dry season progresses, the volume of water over the Falls declines quite dramatically. Visitors in late September to December need to be aware of this and we recommend that you book a helicopter trip or a microlite flight over the Victoria Falls so that you can enjoy the full length of the Falls.
