Victoria Falls

From 1855  when David Livingstone first told the outside world of the Victoria Falls, millions of visitors from every corner of the earth have be drawn  to  view (arguably) the  greatest natural wonder of our planet.  

A spectacular 1708 meters wide with an average depth of 92 meters the Victoria Falls forms the largest single curtain of falling water on earth.

The Falls can be viewed from both the Zimbabwean and Zambian sides – and when the water is high there is also a good view from the bridge that  spans  the two countries . 

The area of the rain forest and Falls on the Zimbabwean side is twice as large as the Zambian side but also twice the price. Although both sides are worth viewing, when the water is low the Zambian side can be very disappointing as there is very little water coming over the falls.

Depending on the seasonal rainfall into  the Zambezi catchment area the water is at its highest from about the beginning  of March until about the middle of  May  when it starts dropping again.  Towards the end of September  it starts getting really low until the end of November  when the local rains start filling up the river again.

Entry into the Falls is $20.00 in Zimbabwe and $10.00 in Zambia – the view from  the bridge is free!  .
