Guided tour of the falls

Get wet! Vast quantities of water pour down and a huge spray is coming back up forming clouds and rainbows over the falls. You can walk along parts of the fast flowing Zambezi and along the falls itself over the foot path and the Knife Bridge giving unparalleled views of the falls offering ever changing spectacles depending on time of day and the season. During full moon you can witness the lunar rainbow during special opening hours.

Victoria Falls presents the beauty and magnificence on the Zambezi River, forming the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The actual name of the falls is Mosi-Oa-Tunya which means the smoke that thunders. When David Livingstone and his partner Sussi and Chuma first saw it David Livingstone named it Victoria Falls to honour his queen. The Victoria Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

The Victoria Falls is classified as one of the largest water falls with a width of 1,708 metres (5,604 ft.) and height of 108 metres (354 ft.), resulting in the world's largest sheet of falling water.

On the upstream of the Falls there are two large islands that are large enough to divide the curtain of water even at full flood, Cataract Island near the western bank and Livingstone Island near the middle point from which Livingstone first viewed the Falls.
