Victoria Falls never fails to inspire awe. Towering at twice the height of Niagara Falls, this natural marvel stands as one of Africa’s spectacular sights.

Recognised as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, Victoria Falls forms a dramatic curtain of water between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Locals call it Mosi-oa-Tunya — “The Smoke That Thunders” — a name that perfectly captures the towering mist visible from miles away and the thunderous roar that fills the air.

Visitors can explore the falls from both countries, with the historic Victoria Falls Bridge — an engineering masterpiece over a century old — providing an easy crossing between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Zambian town of Livingstone, named after the Scottish explorer David Livingstone who documented the falls in 1855, serves as an ideal base for adventure. From here, travellers can enjoy unforgettable luxury experiences such as helicopter and microlight flights, river safaris, or serene sunset cruises along the Zambezi. For thrill-seekers, bungee jumping and white-water rafting offer unmatched adrenaline rushes.

Victoria Falls Zambia is often considered the more affordable side, while still offering exceptional accommodation, tours and amenities. From lavish riverside lodges to immersive adventure excursions, it delivers world-class experiences at excellent value.

Although both Zambia and Zimbabwe share this iconic wonder, Zambia’s quieter, more exclusive atmosphere makes it especially appealing for travellers seeking intimacy and tranquillity. No visit is complete without witnessing Victoria Falls from the Zambian side — home to breathtaking viewpoints, the impressive 108 m (354 ft) drop, bespoke tours and luxurious stays. With fewer crowds and a more serene setting, it provides a deeply moving, unforgettable encounter with one of Africa’s greatest natural treasures.
