Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Victoria Falls Dreams

What To Expect

The Victoria Falls presents a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River, forming a natural border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.

It was described by the Kololo tribe living in the area as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ – ‘The Smoke that Thunders’ for the immense spray and incredible noise caused by the rushing water.

Victoria Falls is a waterfall on the Zambezi River in Southern Africa, which provides habitat for several unique species of plants and animals. It is located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe and is one of the world’s largest waterfalls, with a width of 1,708 m.

Victoria Falls is now also known as the greatest curtain of falling water in the world when its width and height are combined.
