At over a mile wide and a hundred metres high - Victoria Falls is arguably the greatest waterfall in the world. Known locally as "Mosi-o-Tunya" - the smoke that thunders - they form a spectacular curtain of falling water double the height of the Niagara Falls.
The best way to see the falls 'up-close' on your holiday is to take one of the footpaths through the rainforest around the gorge.
The massive volume of water roars as it plunges into the chasm of the gorge and continuously shrouding the paths in a fine spray - so take an anorak!
Victoria Falls also has the deserved reputation as 'adventure capital' of southern Africa - and there are all sorts of exciting holiday adventures to be had (micro-lighting above the falls, rafting in the gorge below them, or bungee-ing into them).
Victoria Falls also has the deserved reputation as 'adventure capital' of southern Africa - and there are all sorts of exciting holiday adventures to be had (micro-lighting above the falls, rafting in the gorge below them, or bungee-ing into them).
However, it should also be pointed out that there are plenty of less extreme holiday activities to be enjoyed.
These include elephant walks, fishing, canoeing and sunset cruises on the calm upper reaches of the river.
The best way to get to Victoria Falls, is to fly via Johannesburg - from where many international carriers (British Airways, South African Airways, Virgin, Delta) offer flights to the UK and USA. The flight from Johannesburg to the Falls is about 2 hours. The Falls can also be reached by road (1.5 hours) from Chobe national park in northern Botswana.
![]() | When to go All activities are dependent on ACTUAL water levels: - A flight in a helicopter or microlight is fabulous year round (except in heavy rainstorms!) - Livingstone Island can possibly be visited between Sept and Jun - and the Devil's Pool opens at very low water! - Rafting is most hair-raising between Sept and Nov.
