One of the most impressive attractions in Africa, the Victoria Falls are located on the Zambezi River, the fourth largest river in Africa. The Falls are considered to be the largest waterfall in the world and their majestic beauty and power provide an intoxicating sense of danger when standing on the edge of the drop.
Dr. Livingstone is said to be the first European, who discovered the waterfall in 1855 and named it after Queen Victoria. The local name “Mosi-oa-Tunya”, which means “the smoke that thunders” is certainly very suitable.
Victoria Falls are the ultimate location for river rafting, surfing, kayaking and heart stopping gorge swings.
If you are less of a thrill seeker, there are plenty of more relaxing activities available. These options include angling, a round of golf, meandering the local arts and crafts market, enjoying a sunset river cruise or a private helicopter ride.
