Situated along the southern border of Zambia, Victoria Falls is a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River. It forms the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe and stretches across almost two kilometres into a gorge over one hundred metres below - making it one of the world’s widest waterfalls. Dubbed ‘The Smoke that Thunders’ by locals, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a popular tourist destination for those visiting Zambia. It is world-renowned for its sheer beauty and offers visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in spectacular landscapes inhabited by abundant wildlife. Visitors can look forward to a wide range of adventure sports such as kayaking, white water rafting, ziplining, bungee jumping and bridge swinging; and those looking for more relaxation can enjoy a sunset boat cruise, game viewing, or browsing through the vibrant local Livingstone Market.
The southern section of the vast Kafue National Park is composed of a slender strip that stretches for almost 200 kilometres, bordered by the Kafue River and Itezhi-Tezhi Dam to the east. Though game is not quite as prolific as in the northern section of the park, southern Kafue takes in some strikingly beautiful places, such as the mystical Ngoma Forest, one of the few places where Zambezi teak trees still grow to maturity undisturbed by loggers. The forest is at its most magnificent between December and March, when the trees burst into a profusion of pink flowers.
