Victoria Falls

The Victoria Falls is one of the seven natural wonders in the world and is the main tourist attraction in Southern Africa. It is the largest waterfall in the world, twice as tall as Niagra Falls. The locals call it Mosi-oa-Tunya which means “the smoke that thunders”, a very fitting description of this magnificent sight.

What to do:

Besides viewing the Victoria Falls, there are many fun activities catering to people from different walks of life.
• Bungee Jumping – a 111 meter high jump is sure to get your adrenaline rushing.
