Why is Victoria Falls special?

A UNESCO listed waterfall on the Zambezi spanning about 1,708 metres and dropping up to 108 metres, forming one of the world’s largest sheets of falling water with rainforest trails and dramatic basalt gorges.

When is the best time to visit?

High water is typically April to May with huge spray. Low water in August to December brings clearer views and seasonal whitewater rafting. We match activities to your dates and interests.

Can I visit Livingstone Island or Devil’s Pool?

Access is seasonal by boat to Livingstone Island. Devil’s Pool usually opens when flows are safe, often mid-August to late December, but levels vary each year.

What experiences can you arrange?

Helicopter or microlight flights, sunset cruises and canoeing above the falls, seasonal whitewater rafting in the Batoka Gorge, cultural time and guided walks, plus rhino tracking on foot in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.

VICTORIA FALLS

On the Zambia–Zimbabwe border, Victoria Falls thunders where the Zambezi drops into a basalt gorge. Upstream, quiet channels host boat cruises and birdlife; downstream, mist and rainbows rise from the chasm. Combine the Falls with Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park for gentle wildlife, river time and effortless access on both sides.
