Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls is shared by both Zimbabwe and Zambia and aptly named “Mosi-oa-Tunya” by the local African people, meaning the Smoke that Thunders!

One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Victoria Falls is a premier Zimbabwe and Zambia tourist attraction, often combined with vacations in South Africa and a Botswana safari.

In addition to family travel in Africa, and an add-on to your South Africa or Kenya safari, Journeys2Africa recommends Victoria Falls for your honeymoon safari, golf safari, luxury rail safari or an adventurous overland safari.

 

Victoria Falls is Africa's playground where thrill seekers will push past boundaries and indulge in pure adrenalin. Exciting safari activities include white water rafting on the Zambezi River, helicopter and microlight flights over Victoria Falls, bungee jumping across the Zambezi Gorge, elephant back safaris, Zambezi River sunset cruises and wine route canoeing safaris.
 

Journeys2Africa recommends the Adventure Pass and Safari Pass in Victoria Falls, featuring fantastic discounts on safaris, tours and excursions.
 

Dr. David Livingstone is said to be the first European missionary and explorer in Africa to discover the Victoria Falls in 1855.  He named this spectacular sight after his British Queen Victoria. The Livingstone Museum in the nearby Zambia town of Livingstone portrays a vivid legacy of his life, his explorations and his mission to abolish the slave trade in Africa.
