Victoria Falls Activities

Victoria Falls is an adventure lover and thrill seekers playground with a wide variety of activities right on your doorstep. 

Victoria Falls is the world's biggest waterfall. In the high season more water goes over the edge of the falls in 3 days than the entire New York yearly water supply, that's an immense amount and a site to behold!

The mighty Zambezi River is home to some of the best 3 - 5 star white water rafting in the world. The river provides routes for beginners and seasoned adrenaline junkies alike, with guided tours daily.

Live life on the edge of The Falls in the low rainfall season in the notorious Devil's Pool. The pool is seasonal based on water flow as in the high season you'd get washed over the edge, so make sure to schedule your stay accordingly.

Victoria Falls FAQ's

Victoria Falls is one of Africa's most popular destinations and the perfect destination for 2-3 nights after a Kruger Park Safari. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive. 

1. In what country is Victoria Falls located?

Victoria Falls is located in the Livingstone region on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe in Southern Africa. The Zambia side is perhaps more popular and easy to access but both offer excellent access to the falls and superb luxury accommodation. 

2. What is the best month to visit Victoria Falls?

Victoria Falls is a year-round destination and the best time to visit depends on what you want to do. For example, if you want to see the Falls at their most powerful then you want to visit after the heavy summer rains. The downside is the spray makes photographic opportunities up close more difficult and you can't enter Devil's Pool. The low flowing months may not offer as thunderous an experience, but you can experience Devil's Pool and capture more intimate photos of the mighty Falls. 

3. How much does it cost to visit Victoria Falls?

The standard visitors entrance fee to Victoria Falls is $30 for international visitors. Accommodation will range from $167 to over $1,000 per person nightly, depending on the level you choose. You can get luxury four star for a little under $200 and go up to the best 5 star accommodation in a private villa for a little over $1,000 per night, all-inclusive.
