WHAT TO EXPERIENCE: It's a truly awe-inspiring experience the sight, the sound, the smell; the humbling feeling that here indeed is Nature's Supreme Masterpiece. No photograph can begin to depict the realityand nothing prepares you for your first sight.
With Livingstone's statue, the Main Falls and 70% of the mile-wide view located on the Zimbabwe side this is one of those must-do-in-my-lifetime experiences, and destinations, that always surpasses expectations.
Best viewing is usually between the months of February through July, but be prepared to get wet! The skies above may be blue, but the billowing spray from the Falls spirals high into the air and a torrent comes crashing down. However, viewing the Falls at any time of the year is always spectacular, even just to witness the amazing topography of the Batoka Gorge. The Main Falls are an impressive sight and can be viewed 365 days of the year from the Zimbabwe side. It's always a good idea to view the falls from the air in order to appreciate the full perspective. Experience The Flight of Angels in a helicopter or stretch your adventure by taking the flip in a floatplane that takes off and lands on the Zambezi River. Open-sided, this plane offers incredible photo opportunities and is unique to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.
Continue your adventure on the Zambezi by experiencing the wet and wild ride in a jet boat that even creeps right up to the Boiling Pot virtually under the spray of the Falls. White water rafting is also a real adrenaline pump in the lower gorge and the new Victoria Falls Bridge tour offers a historical and informative insight into 100 years of Victorian engineering as well as magnificent views of the falls and the Batoka Gorge.
