Victoria Falls Holidays
Victoria Falls holidays
Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning ‘The Smoke that Thunders’, is one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, straddling Zambia and Zimbabwe. Wider than Niagara and higher than Iguazu, its spectacular curtain of falling water is truly awe-inspiring. Zimbabwe offers the best overall views, with dramatic vantage points including Devil’s Cataract and Main Falls, while Zambia provides alternative perspectives from Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. Adventure seekers can enjoy white-water rafting, bungee jumping or helicopter flights, while river cruises and steam-train journeys offer a gentler pace. The surrounding wilderness is equally rewarding, with excellent opportunities for safari and wildlife viewing.

Best time to go
Your decision on which side of the falls you will stay will probably be dictated by the time of year you choose to travel, as the water flow varies according to the time of year. Generally, if you visit from mid January to May the Zambian side is preferable, but as the waters diminish from June to early January, the thundering waters are best see Hwange can be visited all year round.
