See the World’s Most Colossal Waterfall

Joining the ranks of the world’s seven natural wonders, Victoria Falls is also a recognized World Heritage Site. As the largest waterfall in the world according to the volume of water flowing, Mosi-oa-Tunya has been a source of wonder for generations.

Because there is so little modern infrastructure surrounding the Falls, you will feel almost as if you are reliving an experience that ancient peoples had. What makes it so unique is its pristine beauty; it’s easy to put yourself in the shoes of the early explorers who laid eyes on it.

• There is no larger continuous body of falling water on Earth than this.
• Because of its proximity to both Zimbabwe and Zambia, a safari and a visit to Victoria Falls can be easily combined.
• You can easily go from one side of the border to the other, and both the Zimbabwean and Zambian sides are beautiful.
