Great for: Natural Wonder of the World, adventure & adrenaline activities
Victoria Falls is an African destination like no other. The mystique of the Smoke That Thunders and the plethora of adventure activities on offer draw thousands of visitors to the area each year. Exploring the nearby rainforest, swimming in Devil’s Pool, air tours, gorge swinging, bungee jumping and zip lining are all even more extraordinary when you’re shrouded in the mist of the mighty falls.
With Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park right next door, plus Zambia’s Kafue and Botswana’s Chobe National Park just a short journey away, visitors can get the best of both worlds by combining their Vic Falls adventure with a traditional safari. Alternatively, take a day trip to Four Corners to stand at the world’s only international quadripoint.
