Victoria Falls - Mosi-oa-Tunya
(The Smoke that Thunders)

Fact file:
water per minute – about 546 million cubic meters
width - about 2 kilometers
depth of the gorge - about 100 meters

Right on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia the Victoria Falls are one of the major tourist highlights of Southern Africa. Loads of things have changed at the Victoria Falls in last couple of years (due to the political situation in Zim), but the Falls never lost their attraction to travellers from all over the world.

But it is not just the natural beauty of the Falls which makes the people coming, it is also the endless adventure/adrenalin options. The Zambezi at the Falls is the best place on earth (as many people reckon) for white-water-rafting, you can do bungee-juming off the famous Zambezi Bridge, canoeing, kayaking, safaris, hang-around or just do whatever you want to do.

What to do?
The Victoria Falls are quite know worldwide for the adventure sports you can do there. People reckon that rafting on the mighty Zambezi is probably the best in the world. You can also do bungy jumping, abseiling, the Batoka Gorge Swing, whitewater kayaking, jet boating of microlight flights over the Victoria Falls.

How to get there?
It used to be a bit easier as Zim was not as struggled as it is today. In nowadays the easiest way of going there is joing an overland trip. For more details check e.g. African Routes

Alternatively you can go there trough the Caprivi Stripe (coming from Namibia) or through Zambia staying in Livingstone. BUT – the falls itself are in Zambia and the only way to see them is being on the Zimbabwean side looking on the Falls.
