Matabeleland North

This 108-metre-high waterfall is one of the world’s greatest natural wonders. It’s impossible not to be awed and humbled by Mosi-Oa-Tunya, the ‘smoke that thunders’.

Take courage in both hands and raft the world-class white-water rapids of the mighty, crocodile-infested Zambezi River, funneling through the Batoka Gorge at Victoria Falls. And remember to look out for the crocs!

Where to go and what to see in Victoria Falls to get the most from your trip – a 4-day itinerary from destination expert and travel writer Richard Holmes.

Take a dip in the small lagoon on Livingstone Island – right on the lip of the 103m-high Falls. Not for the faint hearted.

Paddle down the mighty Zambezi, spotting birds and big game including hippo, elephant and crocodile.

A historic bridge over a famous gorge sets the scene for one of the most impressive and famous bungee jumps on the planet. Seriously white-knuckle aerial adventure.

One of the world’s greatest zip-lines – 425 metres across a scenic Gorge, over the churning Zambezi River, passing the dramatic spectacle of one of the world’s biggest waterfalls.

Appreciate the true scale and majesty of the Falls from above, with helicopter and microlight flights.

Visiting Victoria Falls is not just about the Falls. Take the opportunity to experience a Big Five safari and get a taste of the real African bush.

Scenic cruises and game spotting on one of Africa’s greatest rivers, just made for sundowners.
