People from around the world come to Victoria Falls to marvel at how the broad, placid and slow-moving Zambezi River violently becomes a raging torrent as it crashes down in a chasm, creating clouds of spray that billow back up into the sky, creating dancing rainbows.

This breath-taking event is accompanied by a clamerous roar and a fine mist of spray that curves up into the heavens above creating dancing rainbows.

The river is the great Zambezi River and the falls are the world’s largest waterfall, the Victoria Falls, which tumble into the Zambezi Gorge below.

This grand display also explains the Falls' local name, Mosi-oa-Tunya, which means ‘the Smoke that Thunders’.

Victoria Falls is the adventure capital of Africa and any luxury vacation to The Falls should include one of the many adrenaline pumping activities. Visitors can bungee jump from a 111 metre high bridge or go white-water rafting down intense rapids.

The legendary ‘Flight of Angels’ a scenic and enchanting flight by helicopter over the Falls offers a captivating view and is very popular for travellers to Zambia.

In addition to the multitude of activities on offer, and the spectacle of the Falls themselves, the Victoria Falls area also offers some excellent game reserves, as well as leisurely river cruises and elephant-back safaris.

The Victoria Falls may be visited from either Livingstone on the Zambian side or from Victoria Falls Town on the Zimbabwe side.
