VICTORIA FALLS, ZIMBABWE
Victoria Falls is one of the world’s greatest natural spectacles. Declared a World Heritage Site, Victoria Falls are the largest curtain of falling water on earth. The Victoria Falls region is a phenomenal safari destination due to the numerous game parks in the region. The Victoria Falls are also considered the Adventure Capital of Africa.
Livingstone named the Victoria Falls after his queen. The Victoria Falls and nearby village are located within a protected area neighbouring the Zambezi National Park. Today, the village rightly claims the title of Adrenaline Capital of Africa. Victoria Falls village is home to a seemingly endless variety of adventure sports from bungee jumping to canoeing and white-water rafting. Apart from its appeal to adventure enthusiasts the village still has a gracious, pioneering, colonial atmosphere.
But perhaps the greatest appeal is the Victoria Falls themselves. A network of trails leads through the rain forest surrounding the ‘smoke that thunders’. Take an umbrella and raincoat and gaze at the incredible vistas of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
