Victoria Falls and Zambezi River
Zimbabwe
Victoria Falls National Park protects the Zimbabwean side of the falls, where the Zambezi drops about 100 metres into a gorge more than 1.7 kilometres wide, the largest sheet of falling water in the world and a World Heritage Site shared with Zambia. The rainforest path along the rim gives the classic views, wettest and most dramatic at high water from about February to May and clearest at low water late in the year. The town of Victoria Falls is the base, with rafting, bungee, helicopter flights, sunset cruises and the Zambezi National Park upstream for game drives. It is a malaria area, and Chobe in Botswana is an hour away.
