Victoria Falls Holidays

At the heart of the Zambezi River, where the tranquillity of the stream is disrupted by a thunderous roar, resides one of Mother Nature's magnificently engineered marvels, the Victoria Falls. With the mighty waters plunging over the edge, creating a 1,708 metre wide curtain of flowing aqua, it's an awe-inspiring spectacle aptly named 'Mosi-oa-Tunya' (the smoke that thunders), and 'Shungu Namutitima' (boiling water) in local dialects.

Nestled between Zambia and Zimbabwe, it’s a cascade worthy of your bucket list, offering adrenaline pumping activities and wildlife experiences coupled with serene river cruises and breathtaking views that awaken an intense appreciation for nature. Indeed, Victoria Falls is the perfect destination to quench your thirst for an adventure of a lifetime.

Explore the Zambezi National Park

Enrich your visit with a tranquil tour of the Zambezi National Park, where elephants, lions, and numerous bird species add living marvels to the natural spectacle. Enjoy a safari to encounter these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.

Unwind at Devil’s Pool

Imprinted with the devil’s charm, the Devil's Pool, located on the edge of the falls, is nature's own infinity pool. Renowned as one of the most unusual swimming spots on earth, it provides a unique and slightly edgy opportunity for a dip, especially during the months of September to November.

Destination Essentials

Ideal visitation times to Victoria Falls largely depend on what you desire to experience. If you're looking to witness the falls in its full glory, visit between April and May when the Zambezi River is at its fullest, creating a massive and magnificent spray. However, this could result in limited visibility due to the extreme mist.

For adventure junkies who want to experience river rafting or a swim in the Devil’s Pool, it's best to visit from July to December. This period also offers the best conditions for wildlife sighting and exploring the picturesque rock formations around the falls. The months from May to August offer cooler and dryer conditions, providing a perfect balance for sightseeing. Don't forget to explore nearby safari destinations such as Chobe and Hwange National Parks for a rich wildlife experience.
