Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe’s north western border with Zambia is separated by the Zambezi River which flows sluggishly over a level plateau, thick with riverine bush. Victoria Falls, one of the world’s most spectacular and awe-inspiring waterfalls, is Zimbabwe’s most famous World Heritage Site. Travelers from all over the world journey to these falls to experience the majestic power first hand. Various adrenaline sports are on offer as well as unmatched scenery of breathtaking proportions, astonishing Zambezi sunsets, and many other leisure options to engage the outdoor connoisseur. Zimbabwe is also home to a number of ancient ruined cities built in a very unique dry stone style, which is unusual in Africa. From the grand falls to the local wildlife, Zimbabwe offers a range of excitement for the exploratory traveler.

Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls

The name Victoria Falls was originally coined by explorer and missionary, David Livingstone. But the local people, both in Zimbabwe and Zambia, refer to Victoria Falls as “Mosi-oa-Tunya” which means “The Smoke that Thunders”. Due to the relentless mist above the falls created by the downward plummet of millions of gallons of water, a small rainforest has actually developed. The city of Victoria Falls offers an ample array of activities, so why not take a microlight over this stunning region, canoe above the falls, or whitewater raft below them? Of course, you could also make time for the second highest bungee jump in the world from Victoria Falls Bridge. For an adventurous but adrenalin free alternative explore the Mukuni and Maramba cultural villages which provide a fascinating opportunity to observe traditional daily life.
