activities, close-up wildlife encounters, and humbling cultural interactions – all of which center around the areas wondrous Victoria Falls, on the Zambezi River. This is the planet’s largest stretch of falling water, and its sheer enormity and force has powered it into the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and onto UNESCO’s World Heritage List. 

Thrilling ways to take it all in are by helicopter or zip line (the longest in the world at 1,395ft) across the gorge. But a leisurely walk through the riverine forest and along the falls is a unique experience, too – there are few major falls that can be viewed on foot at such close proximity. Tempting you to the edge is Devil’s Pool, forming each year at the fringe of the falls when the dry season reduces water levels to reveal, what has been declared, the world’s ultimate infinity pool. 

Private game-drives are available for those who want to explore the reserve at their own pace with a dedicated guide. For the more adventurous, take a guided walking safari on the grounds.

  • Victoria Falls Bridge Tour: This iconic bridge, enrobed with a rich history, hangs in the chasm of the gorge, watching the rapids rage below, and the sun blister the sky. Built in 1904, the bridge has seen the Victoria Falls at its lowest, when the steady trickle barely dampens the jagged black basalt, and when the river flows in full force and plunges down the gorge in a curtain of white water. Thousands of feet have trodden across the steel walkway, but only few can cross the catwalk beneath the Bridge. A visit to the historic railway bridge which connects Zambia and Zimbabwe is an integral part of any Victoria Falls experience.
