Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya ("The Smoke That Thunders"), is a majestic waterfall on the Zambezi River, bordering Zimbabwe and Zambia. It's renowned for its immense size and spectacular views, especially during the high-water season (late February to May) when the spray is most impressive, though this can also limit visibility. The falls are generally accessible with some paved paths, but certain viewpoints may involve stairs. Solo exploration is feasible and safe, but guided tours offer deeper insights into the local ecosystem and history, as well as opportunities for adventure activities like white-water rafting and bungee jumping. Costs can vary widely depending on the activities chosen, but expect to pay entrance fees to the national parks on both the Zimbabwean and Zambian sides. A typical visit duration ranges from one to three days to fully experience the falls and surrounding area. Be aware that some activities may be affected by seasonal river conditions. Consider purchasing a KAZA Uni-Visa for cost-effective entry into both Zimbabwe and Zambia.
