💦 Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Best time: February to May for peak flow; August to December for clearer views of the gorge

The Zambezi plunges 108 metres along a 1.7 km front on the Zimbabwe–Zambia border. Locals call it the Smoke That Thunders, and its spray is visible from miles away.

Good to know

• The Zimbabwe side sees most of the falls; a KAZA visa covers both countries.
• In high water you'll be drenched, so bring or rent a raincoat.
