Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls is the sheet of water on the Zambezi between Zimbabwe and Zambia. The town on the Zimbabwe side is the easy base. Livingstone, on the Zambian side, sees the same gorge from the other bank.

Why Go on Victoria Falls Tours?

Victoria Falls, Zambia-Zimbabwe

Clocking in at twice the height of Niagara Falls, the Victoria Falls is one of Africa's greatest and most-visited attractions. Traditionally known as Mosi-oa-Tunya or ‘the Smoke that Thunders’, Victoria Falls tours are often included in most Southern Africa safari itineraries. The area is also known as Africa's Adventure Capital. In addition to guided Victoria Falls tours, you can also see the world’s biggest waterfall from the air on a helicopter or thrilling microlight flight.

Furthermore, you can hit the water in a canoe, raft or cruising boat; meet orphaned elephants; leap off the historic bridge; and swim in the mischievously named Devil's Pool. There's also plenty of shopping and history, as well as lazy days in the sunshine after an action-packed Victoria Falls safari. Thousands of visitors come to Victoria Falls every year to come face to face with our planet’s biggest sheet of falling water. Here are a few reasons why we love Victoria Falls tours:

  • 1. See the World's Most Colossal Waterfall

    Victoria Falls, Zambia-Zimbabwe

    Not only is Victoria Falls one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, it is also an official World Heritage Site. Defined as the world's biggest waterfall when measured by the sheer volume of falling water, Mosi-oa-Tunya has thrilled people for centuries.

    You will experience it almost exactly as ancient tribes did since there is very little building or development around the Falls. This unspoilt beauty is what makes the experience so special: you can easily imagine what it was like for those explorers seeing it for the first time.

    • It’s the largest uninterrupted sheet of falling water in the world.
    • Located on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia – easy to combine a visit to Victoria Falls and a safari.
    • Both the Zimbabwe and Zambia sides are well worth a visit, and it's relatively easy to travel between the two.
  • 2. Get Your Pulse Racing with Adventure Activities

    As if being dazzled by millions of litres of water surging past you every second isn't enough, there are plenty of other adventure activities at Victoria Falls to get your adrenalin pumping.

    Some of the most popular adventure activities to include in Victoria Falls tours are:

    • Helicopter and microlight flights over the Falls.
    • Seasonal white-water rafting.
    • Gorge swinging, bungee jumping and zip-lining.
    • Canoe safaris on the Zambezi River.
    • Seasonal swimming in Devil's Pool, right on the edge of the waterfall.
  • The Zambezi River is Indescribable

    - Robert
  • 3. Plenty to See & Do for Every Type of Traveller

    When you need to relax, Victoria Falls has plenty to offer – both in Victoria Falls Town on the Zimbabwe side and in Livingstone on the Zambia side. It's a truly multi-generational destination. But what are the best tours in Victoria Falls?

    Those interested in animals can head off to see rescued elephants (please read this important information about ethical animal encounters), history and culture buffs will have a lot to learn, and foodies can try traditional African meals – you can even learn to drum and dance the traditional way!

    For Romantics:

    • Take high tea at the same hotel where a young Queen Elizabeth II stayed.
    • Enjoy a lavish dinner on a steam train.
    • Go on a sunset boat cruise while watching elephants and hippos enjoy the water.

    For Families:

    • Shop in markets for souvenirs and presents.
    • Head to Vulture Culture at feeding time to learn more about raptors.
    • Meet rescued elephants at the The Wild Horizons Elephant Sanctuary and Orphanage.
    • Walk under the old bridge and learn about its interesting history.

    For Photographers:

    • Relax with a book and binoculars to keep an eye on the myriad birds.
    • Go on a game drive in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.
    • Get a shot of a lunar rainbow at full moon when the spray is high enough.
    • Go on a day tour to Botswana’s Chobe National Park to see the world’s biggest elephant herds.
  • 4. A Wide Variety of Accommodation to Choose From

    Accommodation at Victoria Falls includes everything from family-friendly lodges and romantic riverside cottages, to gracious hotels where white-gloved waiters serve G&Ts on manicured lawns.

    After a safari in tented camps, you might want to check into an upscale hotel with air conditioning, room service and a swimming pool. Or continue your immersion in the African bush by going upstream to a laidback river lodge on the Zambezi.

    • Staying in Victoria Falls Town will allow you easy access to the waterfall, bustling markets and many other activities.
    • Staying upstream on the Zambia side is more tranquil and exclusive – ideal for honeymooners.
  • 5. Combines Easily with Top Safari Destinations

    Victoria Falls is positioned at the heart of the Southern Africa safari experience and combines easily with incredible wildlife destinations. There are daily flights from South Africa's international airports to Livingstone Airport (LVI) in Zambia and Victoria Falls Airport (VFA) in Zimbabwe. A road transfer from VFA to Vic Falls Town will take you about 20 minutes.

When is the Best Time to Go To Victoria Falls?

Road from Victoria Falls to the Robins Area in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe

The best time to visit Victoria Falls is from February to May, directly after the summer rains, when you'll see the world's largest sheet of falling water flowing at its greatest volume. The tricky thing about visiting Victoria Falls is that the most impressive spray doesn't coincide with peak safari season in nearby Chobe in Botswana or Hwange in Zimbabwe. Some activities, like swimming in Devil's Pool and certain sections of white-water rapids, are also far too dangerous to undertake when the water is at its highest and fastest.

We don't recommend visiting the Falls at the end of the dry winter season – October through November – when the water level is lowest, and the weather is very hot and humid. Low-water season guarantees you'll have panoramic views (no misty spray) on both sides of the Falls, but the Zambian side (about one quarter of its width) may have dried up completely and all you'll see is bare rock face. Water flow on the Zimbabwean side is permanent but ebbs and flows in volume with the rainy season.

  • Month by Month Guide for Travelling to Victoria Falls:

  • Visiting Victoria Falls from January to March

    January is the height of summer but it's still low-water season. It's not the best time to see Victoria Falls, but the Zambezi River will have begun to rise from all the summer rainfall. January offers great discounted travel deals because it's not quite peak season yet. It's the ideal time for white-water rafting and enjoying luxury Victoria Falls lodges.

    Visiting Victoria Falls can be a sensory overload: the noise, heat and moisture come together in an unforgettable natural showstopper. February is the best time to see Victoria Falls if you want to view this famous landmark at full capacity with the Zambezi River plummeting down into the gorges below. February to May is not the best time to make the most of the Fall's close proximity to its neighbour, Botswana, one of Africa's legendary Big 5 safari destinations, unless you don't mind travelling in the wetter Green Season.

    Victoria Falls is roughly twice the height of North America's Niagara Falls, and the thunderous roar can be heard for miles around. In March, the falls will be flowing at full capacity, and you can expect hot, misty and thunderous afternoons. White-water rafting and other adventure sports continue on the Zambezi River, but rafters must be on alert as the high-water levels provide terrifying conditions even for experienced adrenalin enthusiasts.

  • Travelling to Victoria Falls from April to June

    The summer rainy season comes to an end in April and the temperature does drop a bit before the mild winter really starts. This is one of the best times of the year to enjoy Victoria Falls tours. Due to the heavy spray and mist created by the Falls, it can still be difficult to see it in its entirety at ground level – it's better seen from the skies on a helicopter tour.

    May is the start of the dry winter season at Vic Falls and the temperature can drop suddenly. This is considered the best time to go to Victoria Falls if you want to avoid the heat and rainfall and enjoy the cooler, winter conditions.

    The best time for a Victoria Falls holiday combined with a Chobe River safari is the dry winter period from June to August. Expect great game viewing, warm days and cool nights, little to no rain, and plenty of water still thundering over the precipice.

  • Visiting Victoria Falls from July to September

    July is the best time to visit Victoria Falls for the mild daytime weather and good views of the Falls, even though the Zambezi is not as full during this dry season. July is also the month when the famous lunar rainbow makes its stunning appearance.

    August is another dry month at Vic Falls but it's slightly warmer than the cooler climate during July. August is also considered a great month for white-water rafting while the famous Devils Pool usually opens towards the end of this month.

    September is officially the start of spring but still falls under the dry season. There is no rainfall yet, so weather conditions are perfect. September is one of the best times to visit Victoria Falls. It's not too warm and wildlife viewing is good in the national park, but bear in mind that the later you visit, the drier the waterfall will be.

  • Travelling to Victoria Falls from October to December

    October is the hottest month of the year. After no rain for the past few months the Zambezi starts to run very low just before November. This is not considered the best time to visit Victoria Falls due to the flow of the Falls being at its lowest.

    The Green Season usually kicks off in November with the first spring rains, but it takes time for the water that has fallen in the Angolan Highlands to make its way down to the series of massive gorges of the Falls. This is an ideal time for birding as the migratory bird species start arriving, marking the start of the birdwatching season in the area. 

    December may be slightly cooler but it's still warm and is the second wettest month of the year, so afternoon thunderstorms occur daily. With all the rainfall the vegetation starts to come to life. Birdwatching is superb during December, and this is the last month to take on the rapids for white-water rafting.

Visiting Victoria Falls Travel Tips

For general information on travelling to Zambia, visit our Zambia travel advice page; for those staying on the Zimbabwean side of the falls, visit our Zimbabwe travel advice page.

Get everything you need to know about Victoria Falls in our easy, downloadable travellers’ guide, filled with helpful information, suggestions and recommendations.

  • Top Travel Tips for Victoria Falls

    Choosing sides: the Zambian side of the Zambezi River has a wider selection of accommodation and activities while across in Zimbabwe you'll be rewarded with impressive views of the Main Falls. Whichever country you choose to stay in, we’d recommend budgeting enough time to visit both sides of the Falls for the full experience.

    Plenty to do: Victoria Falls has long been Africa’s adventure capital; popular activities include scenic flights over the falls in helicopters or micro lights, white-water rafting (seasonal), elephant-back safaris and day trips to Chobe National Park.

    Don’t miss out: most hotels or lodges will gladly arrange activities on arrival for you, however, booking in advance is recommended to ensure availability on elephant-back safaris as these are often fully booked.

    Bring the kids: Victoria Falls is a top choice for a family holiday: there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained plus a good selection of kid-friendly accommodation ranging from large resorts to private 2- and 4-bedroom villas.

    Go for tea: for around a century, celebrities and royalty alike have enjoyed high tea at the elegant Victoria Falls Hotel. Expect white-gloved waiters, expansive lawns and manicured gardens; the spray from the Falls provides the scenic backdrop.

    Sundowner stop: the riverside deck at the Royal Livingstone in Zambian is the most popular spot to sip cocktails and toast the sunset.

  • Flights & Getting Around

    For flight schedules, fares and booking terms, check directly with the airline or your chosen travel agent.

    Livingstone Airport (Zambia): the easiest way to fly into Livingstone is from Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport but there is a regular flight from Lusaka as well. You’ll be transferred to your lodge by minibus or 4X4.

    Victoria Falls Airport (Zimbabwe): served by regular flights from Johannesburg, this airport is also on the route of a handy Windhoek/Maun flight. Moreover, as Victoria Falls is only 70km from the Botswana border, travellers can fly to Kasane Airport from the Okavango Delta or Maun Airport and then transfer to the falls by road.

  • Getting around Victoria Falls depends on which side you are based:

    In Zimbabwe the town of Victoria Falls is compact enough to walk around. Most accommodation is located in town or close by and hotels run regular complimentary shuttles to the falls and other places of interest. Several hotels have such a convenient location that makes it possible to simply walk to Victoria Falls. Transfers to activities are built into the price and may be by minibus or 4X4.

    In Zambia the town of Livingstone is located nine kilometres from Victoria Falls and accommodation on the Zambian side is set along the Zambezi River rather than in town itself. Several lodges are set close enough to the falls to access them by foot while most others offer complimentary shuttle busses. Visitors to the Zambian lodges should note that a trip to Victoria Falls is often built into their day’s activity.

    It’s also relatively simple to go across the border to view the Falls from a different angle, and several activities may involve a border crossing.

Victoria Falls Tours & Safaris

Known as ‘The Smoke that Thunders’, Victoria Falls is one of the most iconic sights on the continent – little wonder then that many African holidays include this natural wonder as a key part of their itinerary.

A destination at the heart of the Southern Africa safari experience, a Victoria Falls tour is best combined with the wildlife attractions of Chobe and the Okavango Delta in next-door Botswana or the South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi National Parks in Zambia. We also highly recommend including Victoria Falls in a holiday spent exploring the highlights of South Africa: Cape Town, Sun City and the Kruger Park.

Browse our range of Victoria Falls tours and safaris for ideas and inspiration; we’ve got tried-and-tested itineraries ranging from a family-friendly holidays with plenty to do – to honeymoon safaris staying at intimate riverside lodges and exclusive tented camps. And if you can’t find your perfect holiday match, simply contact one of our African Safari Experts for a tailor-made solution.

Best Victoria Falls Accommodation - Where To Stay

Victoria Falls is a destination split between Zimbabwe and Zambia but both offer accommodation ranging from large family-friendly hotels close to all the action to intimate honeymoon-perfect lodges set on the banks of the scenic Zambezi River. Several are within easy walking distance of Victoria Falls but wherever you’re situated, you’ll have access to this world-famous waterfall as well as to the many activities available in the area.

Accommodation on the Zambian side is spread out on the banks of the Zambezi upstream from Victoria Falls and is best for romantic river chalets and luxurious suites; accommodation on the Zimbabwean side includes grand colonial-style hotels and a golf resort as well as comfortable riverside lodges offering good value for money.

Our selection of top accommodation in Victoria Falls is comprehensive and diverse but if you can’t find what you’re looking for, let our experienced Africa Safari Experts suggest the perfect hotel, lodge or private villa to suit your holiday needs.

Costs

The falls themselves are a park ticket and a hotel, which is why a short stay sits lower than a fly-in safari week.

A scenic flight, a raft, and a helicopter are extras. They should be lines on the quote, not assumed inside the room rate.

The published Victoria Falls sample is the guide price. Visas for each bank, international flights, and tips are outside it.
