Reasons Victoria Falls should be on your bucket list

2022-11-26 - — Signature African Safaris

The Falls:

THE natural wonders of the world. The falls are massive and just about 625 million litres of water pass through them every minute. They are known as “the smoke that thunders,” giving them an almost mystical, magical quality.

Get double the view

You can look at the falls from two different angles, both of which are pretty stellar in their own right. The Zimbabwean side gives you a view of both but the Zambian side allows you to get closer to the top and the bottom areas of the falls.

The history

A bit of history is learnt about the falls and the surrounding area. At the entrance of the park are a display of coloured cards that will teach you some of the most interesting facts about where you are visiting.

Bungee jumping:

You can bungee jump for one of the world’s best views, take a swing off of a 330-foot bridge or zip line through the gorge.

Canoeing

If white water rafting near some of the world’s biggest waterfalls sounds too intimidating, you can try canoeing instead. It’s just as fun but without the danger element.

For the amenities

The safari lodge that surrounds them has pretty exciting amenities. Taste the local buffets serving up game meats and traditional Zimbabwean dishes, learn how traditional beats on the drums and see some cultural dance performances too.

Devil's Pool.

The Devil's Pool is no joke. If you are adventurous and a strong swimmer, you can sit in this pool and overlook the falls any time of the year.

World class rafting

Where there are waterfalls and rapids, there are also usually opportunities for white water rafting. If you are feeling courageous, have a lifetime experience on the Zambezi River, just below the waterfalls to raft.
