Victoria Falls is one of the wonders of the natural world. It is called "Mosi-oa-Tunya", meaning, in the local language, "the smoke that thunders", which describes the spray and the roar as the Zambezi River drops 300 feet into the narrow gorge below. The Falls have fascinated travellers since David Livingstone was the first European explorer to see the Falls in 1855. A visit to Victoria Falls is a definate MUST if doing a safari in nearby Botswana, Zambia or in Zimbabwe.

Created in turn by Volcanic activity, erosion and the course of one of Africa’s greatest rivers, the Zambezi, the Victoria Falls has captured the hearts, minds and adventurous spirits of people the world over. It was David Livingstone who, after that now famous entry in this diary - “On sights as beautiful as this Angels in their flight must have gazed” - claimed it for the British crown and named it after his Queen.

The sight of millions of gallons of turbulent water cascading over a sheer precipice into a narrow gorge a hundred metres below is something nobody can ever forget. Considered the largest curtain of falling water in the world, the magnificent Victoria Falls draws visitors from all over the world.
