Victoria Falls – Zimbabwe’s Iconic Natural Wonder

Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and a must-visit destination on any African safari. As the Zambezi River plunges into the gorge below, it creates a breathtaking cascade and a misty spray visible from nearly 40 kilometres away.

While David Livingstone named the falls after Queen Victoria, the local Batonga people call it “Mosi-oa-Tunya,” meaning “The Smoke That Thunders.” The experience is not just about admiring the falls’ power it’s also an adrenaline lover’s playground.

Visitors can get thrillingly close at the edge of the falls in the famous Devil’s Pool, go bungee jumping from the Victoria Falls Bridge, tackle white-water rafting on the Zambezi, or abseil the canyon walls overlooking the “Boiling Pot.”

Whether you’re seeking awe-inspiring scenery, adventure activities, or a starting point for a Southern Africa safari, Victoria Falls offers something for every traveler. Let our Africa Safari Experts craft a custom Zimbabwe itinerary that includes Victoria Falls and other unforgettable destinations.
