Victoria Falls Activities

Victoria Falls is a breathtaking waterfall located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, along the mighty Zambezi River. It’s one of the largest and most spectacular waterfalls in the world, and you can visit it from either side—each offering unique and stunning perspectives of the falls and surrounding nature.

That depends on what you want! From February to May, the waterfall is at its fullest, with thunderous water and a giant spray that creates magical rainbows. If you prefer clearer views and easier hiking, the dry months from August to December are ideal, when the water flow is lower but the scenery remains beautiful.

Victoria Falls is full of adventure and wonder. You can explore scenic walking trails through the rainforest, swim in the famous Devil’s Pool perched right on the edge of the falls (during the dry season), or enjoy a peaceful sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. For thrill-seekers, there’s bungee jumping, white-water rafting, helicopter rides, and more!

Yes, but only during the dry season when water levels drop and it’s safer. This natural rock pool offers an incredible, heart-stopping experience right at the edge of the falls. Always swim with an experienced guide who knows the currents and safety precautions.

The rainforest and national parks around the falls are alive with wildlife. You may spot elephants, hippos, monkeys, colourful birds, and even crocodiles. Guided safaris and walking tours are great ways to discover the local animals and lush environment.

Visa rules depend on your nationality and whether you enter through Zambia or Zimbabwe. Many visitors use the KAZA Univisa, which covers both countries for seamless travel. Always check visa requirements before your trip to avoid surprises.
