Victoria Falls

The smoke that thunders

Why go

Victoria Falls is the largest curtain of falling water on Earth — over a mile wide and twice the height of Niagara. Beyond the falls themselves, the area offers sunset cruises on the Zambezi, white-water rafting, and easy safaris into Chobe and Hwange.
