Victoria Falls

Experience the majesty of Mosi-oa-Tunya and one of the world's most spectacular natural landscapes.

Overview

About Victoria Falls

Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, the Smoke That Thunders, Victoria Falls is where the Zambezi River drops into a basalt gorge and sends spray high above the surrounding rainforest. It is one of the great natural sights of the world, and the Zambian side at Livingstone places you remarkably close to the water.

A KEETAJ visit is guided, unhurried and planned around light, water levels and how much walking you would like to do, so you see the falls at their best rather than at their busiest.

Victoria Falls sits on the Zambezi River on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Zambian viewpoints are reached from Livingstone, roughly a ten-minute drive from the town centre.
