The
Victoria Falls
Described
by the Kololo tribe living in the area in the 1800’s
as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ - ‘the Smoke
that Thunders’ and in more modern terms as
‘the greatest known curtain of falling water’,
Victoria Falls are a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring
beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River, bordering
Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Planning
Your Holiday
When
planning your Victoria Falls safari holiday, it's
vital to take into consideration that the Falls
look completely different in the dry season.
The best time to see Victoria Falls
is from February to April, when the Zambezi River
is at its most powerful. On the other hand whitewater
rafting doesn't occur when the Zambezi River is
in full flood - so when you choose to travel should
depend on your priorities.
There
is a wide choice of Victoria Falls accommodation,
ranging from luxurious villas on the banks of the
Zambezi and safari lodges in private game reserves,
to large colonial-style resorts within sight of
Fall's huge plume of spray. Each has its unique
advantages and features.
