5 Reasons To Visit Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls might not be the widest or the highest waterfall in the world, but it is easily the most spectacular. It crashes a startling 110m, creating a spray that is visible from more than 50km away, along with magical rainbows that add the perfect finishing touch to this natural phenomenon.

While the falls themselves are reason enough to plan a trip, the town of Victoria Falls – and the area around it – will ensure that your holiday is filled with wildlife adventures, loads of adrenaline kicks plus those magical sprinklings only Africa can deliver.

Here are my top five reasons to put Vic Falls on your travel wish list today:

1 THE FALLS ARE SIMPLY SPECTACULAR

The Victoria Falls span 1 700m and are also known by their local name, Mosi-oa-Tunya (the smoke that thunders). They were given their royal title by David Livingstone in 1855, and a larger-than-life statue of the explorer gazes out over the falls.

Livingstone had heard about the falls four years before he actually got to see them, and after being rowed to an island just above the massive drop by Chief Sekeletu of the Makololo, he wrote in his diary: ‘No-one can imagine the beauty of the view from anything witnessed in England … scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight.’
