Featured Locations

Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls banner

Victoria Falls is the most spectacular sight you will see anywhere in Africa. One of the seven wonders of the natural world, this huge curtain waterfall is situated between Zimbabwe and Zambia, where the mighty Zambezi river plunges 108m down into a narrow gorge, creating a waterfall that is a mile wide.

A visit to Southern Africa is not complete without having seen the Victoria Falls. The falls can be visited from the Zambian side or from the Zimbabwe side. The town on the Zambia side is called Livingstone, and the town on the Zimbabwe side is called Victoria Falls. Both locations are safe, popular tourist destinations with good infrastructure and a variety of accommodation options.

This Google map shows the Victoria Falls area. Victoria Falls is the name of the town on the Zimbabwe side (southern side of the river). The town on the Zambian side is called Livingstone. You can fly to Victoria Falls airport or Livingstone airport. Upstream of the falls, the water is flat and calm, great for canoeing or a sunset cruise. Downstream of the falls, the river creates a series of rapids as it flows down the Batoka Gorge. You can zoom in and out, or change the Hybrid view to Map view.
