This is the world’s largest waterfall, which crosses the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, is deservingly among the seven natural wonders. Check out our six reasons to visit Victoria Falls when you next travel to the area.
Visit one of seven natural wonders around the globe
If a sight is listed as one of seven natural wonders in the world, then it’s a sign that you are in for a treat. The waterfall was named ‘Mosioa-Tunya’ by the Kololo tribe in the 1800s. A waterfall unlike any other is created by the combination of large basalt cliffs with powerful Zambezi rivers. It gushes over 500 million cubic metres of water each minute.
In Devil’s Pool
You can take a tour to Victoria Falls, where you can swim metres from the Zambezi River that plunges down 108m below you. This stunning pool on the Zambian side has been named “Devils Pool”. A magnificent rock pool emerges each year as the river levels drop. This creates the most picturesque plunge pool on the planet and makes for a great photo opportunity. You should consider when is the best time to visit Victoria Falls. Devils Pool is closed between August and January.
Sunset cruise
Sunset cruises are a great way to end your day at Victoria Falls. Relax and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Zambezi River as the African sun sets. This natural wonder is unsurpassed and, if you are lucky enough, you might even spot some hippos swimming along the river.
All water activities
There is something for everyone, whether you are looking to canoe down Zambezi River or go white-water rafting. Vic Falls, a great place for beginners and experienced anglers to reel in a Tiger fish, is also a good option. You don’t have to squeeze all of these activities into one day.
