Victoria Falls, one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, is a mile-wide gorge where the formidable Zambezi River roars over a ledge and drops 400 feet to the valley floor below. Victoria Falls itself can be viewed from both Zambia and Zimbabwe and the falls are part of two national parks, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia and Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe. The Falls are the star of the area, but with a wealth of adventurous activities, cultural experiences and indulgent accommodation, Victoria Falls is a truly diverse and iconic bucket-list destination.

Tailormade TravelPersonalised itineraries and privately guided experiences
Victoria Falls can be viewed from Zimbabwe and Zambia and the falls are part of two national parks, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia and Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe.
How was Victoria Falls formed?
It is theorized that movement of the earth from an early geological period diverted the upper part of the Zambezi River, forcing the water to change direction. The force of the river gradually eroded the bedrock, cutting through it and creating a waterfall.
How to get to Victoria Falls?
Flying from Johannesburg or Cape Town, your plane will either land at Victoria Falls Airport in Zimbabwe or at Livingstone Airport in Zambia depending on where you've chosen to book accommodation. From there, it's a short car journey to the Falls.
When is the best time to visit Victoria Falls?
The best time to visit falls are between January and July, during this time you'll see the largest volume of water cascading over the falls. For help planning your Victoria Falls trip, submit an inquiry.
How big is Victoria Falls?
Victoria Falls are 1,708 meters high and 108 meters wide making it roughly twice the height and width of Niagra Falls. Visit our blog to learn more about Victoria Falls.
