Victoria Falls Day Tours From USA/New York/California/Los Angeles

One of the most well-known tourist destinations in Africa, the Victoria Falls—popularly known as “the smoke that thunders” by locals—is the most famous natural landmark in Zimbabwe. A visit to Victoria Falls, which sits on the banks of the Zambezi River and serves as a natural border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, has long been a desired vacation destination. More over a kilometer long, Victoria Falls is among the world’s most impressive waterfalls.

The breathtaking waterfall, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was named after Queen Victoria in 1855 by the renowned Scottish explorer David Livingstone. It is characterized by an incredibly picturesque wall of flowing water. You can get a good view from either side of the border, but the Zimbabwean side has better visitor amenities, lodging, and viewing platforms, so it’s the more popular.

Tourists from all over the globe have flocked to Victoria Falls ever since it was discovered, drawn there by the promise of awe-inspiring beauty and the thrill of hearing the water thunder down the falls. On the Zambian side of the border, there is a place named “Devil’s Pool” where daredevils can swim in addition to observing the beautiful waterfalls. Depending on the water levels, this natural pool is only open during specific periods of the year, yet it offers a refreshing dip right above Victoria Falls, inches away from the thundering waterfall.

Beyond just gazing at the waterfalls, Victoria Falls offers a plethora of activities. The Victoria Falls National Park and Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park are two examples of wildlife and environment reserves that are home to diverse ecosystems of native animals; thus, it is possible to combine a visit to the Victoria Falls with an exhilarating safari if you so desire.
