About Victoria Falls
The Victoria Falls constitutes one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world.
The sight of millions of gallons of turbulent water cascading over a sheer precipice into narrow gorge a hundred meters below is something nobody can ever forget.
It is considered that it is the largest curtain of falling water in the world, measuring slightly over 1.7km in width and draws visitors from all over the world.
Victoria Falls has dozens of viewpoints that are reached by paths through the rainforest, which grows in the area of the spray.
This volume of water is greatest in April and May though photographers get better pictures, and keep their cameras dry when the river is less full.
Victoria Falls is a one-hour hop by air from Harare, and less than an hour from Bulawayo.
The local people who led David Livingstone to this magical place in 1855 call it "Mosi-oa-Tanya". The Smoke That Thunders can be seen 70km away. "Scenes so lovely, must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight," said David Livingstone.
It has become the premier adventure resort of Southern Africa with adventurers coming from all over the world to experience the white water rafting classified as the best waterfall in the world, rafts break their way through rapids graded as high as 5 (6beingum - navigable) through the deep gorges of the mighty Zambezi River.
Visitors can fly over the falls in a variety of aircrafts including helicopters and micro light or do bungee jumping from the bridge above the gorge.
Canoeing and Kayaking on the upper Zambezi River is a magical experience that brings one much closer to nature. Here visitors have the time to enjoy the bird life and varied vegetation and to sit silently watching the animals come down to drink and play in shallow waters.
A night spent on the banks of the upper Zambezi on a canoeing safari or down in the brooding gorges whilst rafting, is a never to be forgotten experience.
