Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls presents a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River, forming the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It was described by the Kololo tribe living in the area in the 1800s as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ – ‘The Smoke that Thunders’. In more modern terms Victoria Falls is known as the greatest curtain of falling water in the world.

Perhaps the most famous and well known attraction on our list is the mighty Victoria Falls. Known as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of The World, this great curtain of water holds many activities and attractions to keep visitors busy. Try your hand at bungee-jumping and white water rafting or take a helicopter or microlight ride to gain a bird’s eye view impression of this impressive landmark.

Victoria Falls is one of Zimbabwe’s most iconic scenic features and thousands flock to the falls each year. While it’s a popular destination for active individuals, it’s also perfect for honeymooning couples and families alike!

To continue the adventure you could easily combine Zimbabwe with another destination and create a twin centre holiday.
