Victoria Falls guided tour

Victoria Falls, famously known as “The smoke that thunders,” is a breathtaking natural wonder in the heart of Zimbabwe. The iconic waterfall spans about 5,577 feet (1,700 meters) wide and plunges 354 feet (108 meters) deep. A guided walking tour offers fascinating insights into its history, geology, and unique rainforest ecosystem.

Well-maintained trails wind through the lush jungle, leading to 16 distinct viewpoints, each offering a different and unforgettable angle of the falls. The surrounding rainforest is home to exotic plant species and vibrant birdlife, and you might spot monkeys or bushbucks along the way.

The best time to witness the falls in full force is from February to June, when the water volume is at its peak. Be prepared to get soaked from the mist: open shoes and a raincoat are highly recommended. For a drier experience, visit between July and early September, though by December and January, water levels are typically at their lowest.
