📍 Destination Overview
Victoria Falls spans the Zambezi on Zimbabwe's border with Zambia, one of the world's greatest waterfalls. Its mile-wide curtain of water thunders into a deep gorge, throwing up spray the locals call Mosi-oa-Tunya, the smoke that thunders, a World Heritage site. In flood it roars; in the dry season you can peer into the abyss, and rainbows arch through the mist.
