What to see and do:

Selection of unmissable experiences, with practical tips and ideal times.

The Falls – Zimbabwe side (Victoria Falls Town) - Walk along the viewpoints in the Victoria Falls National Park: sweeping views of multiple sections of the falls, shady paths, frequent rainbows with high flow. Not to be missed: Guided tour of the falls (early morning or late afternoon), Helicopter “Flight of Angels” (10–12’ or 20–25’) for aerial views of the entire front, Bridge experience: deck walk, zipline/gorge swing, bungee (for those who love adrenaline).

The Falls – Zambian side (Livingstone) - More close views (intense spray in full flow), access to Knife-Edge Bridge and, in dry season, Livingstone Island and Devil’s Pool. Not to be missed: Devil’s Pool / Livingstone Island (seasonal, low water level), Microlight (scenic flight on Zambian side only), Natural bathing in the park's Mosi-oa-Tunya pools(when conditions permit).

.

On the Zambezi River: Sunset Cruise with aperitifs and sightings (hippos, birds), Canoe/rafting: seasonal and regulated by water levels (local companies define windows and safety), 

.

Safari & surroundings: Day trip to Chobe National Park (Botswana): boat on the Chobe River + game drive (classic day-trip from Victoria Falls/Livingstone), Hwange National Park (Zimbabwe): one of the best safaris in the country, easily combined (2–3 nights), Mosi-oa-Tunya NP (Zambia): small safaris, protected rhinos (soft experiences for families)

.

When to go 

Victory Falls changes its face according to the flow of the Zambezi.

• .

  High flow (approx. Feb–mag): imposing wall of water, very intense spray (visibility reduced in places, poncho essential). Scenic and thunderous.

  .
• .
• .

  Intermediate range (approx. down–needle): excellent balance between volume and visibility; dry and cool climate.

• .
• .

  Low flow (approx. Sept–Dec): increased visibility of gorges, access to Livingstone Island/Devil’s Pool and rafting at peak levels (depending on conditions).

We recommend late (ZWE/ZMB) and best activities according to dates and your interests (photos, adrenaline, families).
