Victoria Falls was born out of the iconic waterfall and the desire for travellers to lay their eyes upon its glory. And it is truly glorious, in a myriad of ways. Depending on the season, you can see the falls rising up into the sky from kilometres away, claiming its territory with its spray, living up to its local name: ‘Mosi-o-a-tunya’ – The Smoke that Thunders. And thunder it does! If you listen carefully, its thunder holds the town in constant vibration, existing at a powerful frequency, windows and doors rattling with the distant force of nature. One simply cannot remain the same after being in the presence of such energy – feeling atomically changed after an encounter with Victoria Falls. And this is before you have even entered the heritage site itself; life-changing simply in its existence.

The experience of this mighty waterfall is an all encompassing sensory explosion. From its energetically charged vibrations, seeing the spray claim the sky from a distance and then feeling the waters of the Zambezi land upon your skin, to the smell of the damp rainforest, alive with its own creatures – begs no question as to why this is a world wonder. One can only stand in awe, peering into this ancient chasm, gallons of wild water pouring over the thirsty lips of the Batoka Gorge. Batoka is breathtaking in itself; willfully receiving the force of the Zambezi River, allowing it to shape and mould its basalt walls, twisting and turning through millennia of erosion. There is wisdom here, deeply embedded in rock and rapid, each influencing the other.
The quaint little town of Victoria Falls has a big heart and exudes a larger than life sense of adventure. Small in size yet significant in reputation, the area has grown and blossomed to embrace and offer a wide variety of experiences and activities, satiating the wide variety of travellers which pass through its one main road.
