| Victoria Falls |
Feeling a bit nippy? That crisp autumnal air got you feeling blue? Or maybe you’re hotting up in the southern hemisphere, baking in the languid spring warmth. Either way, a visit to Victoria Falls might be the ticket - either get the chill out of your bones in the equatorial heat, or cool down in the spray of the mighty falls.
It’s hard to talk about the falls - or the Zambezi River, which does the falling - without using the ‘mighty’ tag - they are nearly 2km (1mi) wide - the largest single sheet of cascading water in the world. Not for nothing do the locals call them Mosi-oa-Tunya - ‘the smoke that thunders’. It shouldn’t surprise you that they’re one of the seven wonders of the natural world.
The Zambezi flows between Zimbabwe and Zambia, you can tour the falls from either side. There are also national parks on both sides. On Viator.com you can book 3- and 5-day tours that take in walking tours, sunset cruises on the river, local villages, rainforests teeming with wildlife, and (on the longer tour) Chobe National Park in Botswana.
