Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls was formed where the Zambezi drops 100m into a narrow gorge. The falls release over 5 million cubic metres of water over the falls per minute. You can hear the roar and see the spray of this immense waterfall rising up towards the sky as you approach from the road.
Victoria Falls offers many adventurous activities which include enchanting sightseeing flights over the falls, called ‘The Flight of Angels’, which can be done by helicopter, microlight or ultralight. There are more adrenaline raising activities and these include bungee-jump over the mighty Zambezi, zip-wire or gorge-swing across its vast width, canoe amongst its hippos and crocodiles, or raft down it on one of the world’s toughest stretches of white water.
The town itself has grown as a result of tourism activities tourism has returned. it will inevitably develop further as a hub for the entire Kavango-Zambezi region which includes parts of Namibia, Zambia, Angola and Botswana as well as Zimbabwe. Victoria Falls is now a pleasant, lively little town to amble around, with plenty of options for souvenir shopping, from lively craft markets to a modern shopping mall, and the mighty Falls only a short stroll away.
