A feast for your senses and undoubtedly one of Mother Nature’s truly breathtaking creations, Victoria Falls should be high on your bucket list of destinations. We can’t wait to go back!

The Smoke That Thunders Vic Falls

Nothing can prepare you for the first time you lay your eyes on Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls. I finally understand why it’s considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The roar of the water plummeting over the edge, the feeling of the mist on your skin… even learning about the history of this magnificent place is enough to give you goosebumps.

We were in Zim for only three days, but it was enough to get a good taste of the entire area. My initial experience of Vic Falls was on the veranda at The Elephant Camp, our home for the duration: you could vaguely see the misty ‘smoke’ of the pounding water.
