Destination region
Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls is one of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its spray rises up to 300 metres into the air and can be seen from as far as 30 kilometres away. Stretching along the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, the falls promise unforgettable experiences, thrilling activities and breathtaking views for the whole family.
A walk along the cliffs offers dramatic views of the roaring falls and radiant rainbows in the spray – a sight that delights children and adults alike. A sunset cruise on the Zambezi invites you to take in the breathtaking scenery while observing hippos and crocodiles in their natural habitat. For adventurous families, white-water rafting on the Zambezi delivers pure adrenaline and exhilaration. The Victoria Falls Rainforest gives children the chance to discover the region’s rich flora and fauna and experience the raw power of the falls at close range.
An absolute highlight: a helicopter flight over the falls, offering incomparable panoramic views and unforgettable memories for the whole family.
