The Victoria Falls constitutes one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world. The Local people call it "Mosi-oa-Tunya" -- the smoke that thunders and the Victoria Falls are remarkable. There is a magic about them manifested in the towering column of spray known as the Victoria falls when the river is high, the thunder of the falling water, the terrifying abyss and tranquil lagoons upstream in which hippo and deadly crocodiles lurk.
The Victoria falls is 1 708 meters wide, making it the largest curtain of water in the world. The Victoria falls drops between 90m and 107m into the Zambezi Gorge and an average of 550,000 cubic metres of water plummet over the edge every minute.
Remarkably preserved in its natural state, Victoria falls inspires visitors as much today as it did David Livingstone in the 1860's. The Victoria falls and the surrounding area have been declared National Parks and a World Heritage Site, thus preserving the area from excessive commercialisation. The Victoria Falls are spectacular throughout the year, but February onwards, after the rain season, has the heaviest flow and volume of spray.
A number of activities can be undertaken by the Victoria Falls. The 'Flight of Angels' provides a fabulous vista of the Victoria falls, the upstream river and its many islands and for the more adventurous there is microlighting with stunning views of the Victoria Falls.
Rafting the wild rapids below the Victoria Falls is a very popular adventure. Visitors of the Victoria falls can also kayak, canoe, fish, go on guided walking safaris, ride on horseback and lunch on Livingstone's Island

Climate:- Victoria Falls enjoys a mild and dry winter from around June to mid-August and is an all year round destination. The Victoria falls has a warm to hot spring until the rains start in mid-November; it becomes warm and wet and stays so at the Victoria falls until the rainy season passes at the end of April! The rainy season of the Victoria falls is often characterised by sudden torrential downpours with violent storms followed as quickly by blue skies and sunshine. Rafting at Victoria Falls is dependent on the Zambezi water levels. 'Low water season' is the most exciting from around mid July to early January when visiting the Victoria falls, with water levels dropping progressively until the lowest levels are reached during December and January. The Victoria falls annual rains start in the middle of November but it's only in January that the headwaters hit Victoria Falls, levels climb again and 'high water season' starts. The peak of the annual flood usually hits the Victoria falls around Easter time. Rafting stops when the Zambezi is in full spate, sometimes from around mid March to early May each year. The season's rains make the lower stretches of the National Park inaccessible from November through to April. During this time, the 'Green Season' Island Trail runs from Kafue down to Chongwe
