5 Days Victoria Falls Safaris Tour Zambia and Zimbabwe
5 Days Victoria Falls Safaris Tour Zambia and Zimbabwe
Victoria Falls is perhaps Africa’s single most outstanding feature, and one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. The Zambezi River, which is more than two kilometres wide at this point, plunges 108m into a narrow chasm and noisily down a series of basalt gorges. The world heritage site covers both banks of the Zambezi River, including the Victoria Falls National Park on the Zimbabwe side and the Mosi-oa Tunya National Park in Zambia. When the river is in full flood in February and March, it forms the world’s largest sheet of falling water with some 540 million cubic meters of water per minute pouring over the edge and creating a spray plume which is visible 20km away. The local name for the falls – Mosi-oa Tunya – means the ‘smoke that thunders’, a suitable description for a place that stirs every sense.
