Tips

An unbelievable experience when you see these masses of water roaring unleashed and, flanked by a rainbow or two, hear them thundering down into the depths.
Tip: bring a good rain cape and preferably an umbrella with you - the wind changes really quickly or picks up so much that you can easily get completely soaked by the spray.

Incredibly impressive natural spectacle. However, don't be afraid of water. Depending on the spray, you'll be wet down to your underwear afterwards.

The explorer David Livingston of Scotland, who traveled to the area in 1855, gave the waterfall its name in honor of Queen Victoria. The nearby town is also named after the researcher. The locals called it "Thundering Smoke". It is up to 1800m wide and up to 120m high. The special thing is that its water forms a thick fog when it falls. In good conditions it can be seen up to 20 km away.
The waterfall is definitely worth a visit in order not to miss this natural spectacle.

Depends on the season for the poncho. Was there at the end of November, so before the rainy season. The falls were still extremely impressive and there were only beautiful rainbows everywhere in the canyon but no spray. You can also take very nice photos this way. So it pays to plan your visit well.

Without a doubt, the helicopter flights over Victoria Falls were a must for me. They are spectacular; the spray alone can be seen for miles.

From a helicopter, you have an impressive panoramic view of this entire natural wonder.

The falls border Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The Victoria Falls are fed by the Zambezi River, with a maximum water flow of up to 10,000 m³ per second during the rainy season🌧️👈!!!

The height is approximately 108 meters.

The total width is approximately 1.7 km.

Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and is considered one of the most impressive waterfalls in the world.

The falls have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1989.
In sunshine, rainbows often form, so no camera can stay still until the falls are completely in the frame...😁at least mine was 😊
