Victoria Falls’ incredible natural beauty, activities and remarkable wildlife appeal to many types of travellers. Whether you want to see a natural wonder, are an adrenaline junkie or a combination of the two – it’s all at your feet in this little town.
A real highlight of Victoria Falls Town is the way in which humans and wildlife co-exist. Our group stayed at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, which borders the Zambezi National Park. On our way to breakfast, it was not unusual to pass monkeys, warthog or impala. Coming across wild animals like this really completes the experience of a stay at this popular lodge.

We travelled to Victoria Falls in February, the midst of the rainy season. This meant that our group was in for a real treat during our tour of the famous Falls (the largest sheet of falling water in the world!).
During these hot summer months, temperatures can reach around 30°C; and the abundance of mist thrown up by The Falls gave much needed relief in the humid weather.
When water levels are high you can hear, see and feel the spray from the Falls.
On Day 2, the group ignited their creative side. Imagine an art session, overlooking a gorge in Victoria Falls? This is the unique activity that they got to experience!
Paired with their African-shaped pallets, the group allowed their creative juices to flow during an outdoor art session atop the magnificent Batoka Gorge. Such a fun and interactive few hours, and a great option for any group of travellers or as a team building activity.
Let’s get creative: fun and interactive art session in beautiful surroundings.
For lunch we went to The Three Monkeys, a vibrant pub and grill restaurant located in an old railway carriage. Here we were treated to delicious food and an even better atmosphere. I would certainly recommend this restaurant for your next visit!
Our final day, Day 3, was set aside for adrenaline and adventure! Most of the group chose to spend the day on the Zambezi River; white water rafting or raft floating. One of the travellers even tried her hand at rowing during the raft float activity!
Floating (and a bit of paddling) along a quiet stretch of the Zambezi River.
Those up for a bit more adrenaline, opted for white water rafting instead.
The rest of the group enjoyed ziplining across the gorge and some even braved the Flying Fox! The Flying Fox involves ziplining across a 200m wide and 120m deep gorge. Not for the faint-hearted!
Getting ready for high wire activities: zip lining & the Flying Fox!
The culmination of the trip was a sunset cruise on the Zambezi, floating down the river, spotting elephant and hippo. We rounded off the cruise with a Riverside Gala Dinner – a night to remember!
Victoria Falls is a truly special and unforgettable destination that should be on everyone’s bucket list!
