Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe is a common destination for travellers visiting Africa. Check out this list of amazing things to do during your stay.
Visit the Falls
Obviously one of the most popular activities in Victoria Falls is to visit the falls! This impressive, mile-wide water fall sits on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. Some of the most amazing views can be seen from the Zimbabwean side! Spend a morning or afternoon walking the paths along the falls and viewing it from a variety of angles. You can visit on your own or with a guide.
Zambezi River Cruise
Another super popular activity in Victoria Falls is taking a river cruise. Get out on the Zambezi river to get up close and personal with hippos, crocodiles, and a wide variety of bird species. For an extra special touch, book with Ra-Ikane to venture out in boats designed to mimic those used by Livingstone.
