Awe-inspiring Beauty: Victoria Falls in Zimba

Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe is an absolute must-see destination for any traveler visiting Africa. The falls were so beautiful and majestic that I was left in complete awe. Visiting during the rainy season was a great idea, as the falls were full and surrounded by lush greenery. If you happen to visit during this time, make sure to rent a colorful raincoat from the market across the street for $5 - it's not only practical, but also adds to the fun! One of the best parts of visiting Victoria Falls is that you can walk to the left once you exit the falls park, after a short walk, you’ll cross the bridge to enter into Zambia for some truly unique travel shots. I highly recommend doing this and taking advantage of the opportunity to explore two countries in one day. We chose to book our tour with Shearwater, and it was a great decision. We were able to safely and conveniently cross the border into Zimbabwe for the day and experience everything Victoria Falls had to offer. I would highly recommend this company to anyone planning a trip to the falls. Overall, I had an amazing day at Victoria Falls and it's definitely one of the most fun experiences I've had in ages. Don't miss out on this incredible natural wonder - it's worth the trip!

VICTORIA FALLS-ZIMBABWE AND ZAMBIA Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and the major waterfall on the Zambezi River in Africa. It is famous for being the largest waterfall in the world, in the wet season. The African people who live around the falls call it Mosi-oa-Tunya which means "smoke that thunders".There are many things that can be done in victoria Falls which are Bungee Jumping,white water rafting,Helicopter and Microlight flights over the falls,Zipline,Gorge swing and flying fox,Swim on the devils pool(the edge of victoria falls which is extremely very dangerous any mistake you are gone).One of my best experiances was seing giraffes on my window while having breakfast and of course many animals.one of the most amazing thing is the rainbow and that its the largest falls in the world.I recommend you to visit and dont forget to take the microflights over the falls ITS AMAZING.Best bucketlist ever!!!!

Victoria Falls is one of the seven wonders of Africa and is between Zimbabwe and Zambia. The massive waterfall is heard kilometers away as the water crashes against the rocks, as you walk towards the falls in the rainforest your breath is taken away by the glorious view of the amazing falls. #GiveThanks

In the world of mankind, mankind is nothing but a small dust. It recognizes the greatness of nature and the smallness of self. It is the Victoria Falls in Africa. At the junction of Zambia and Zimbabwe in Africa, there is a raging river, the Zambezi River. The Zambezi River suddenly fell into a huge cliff, forming the world's largest waterfall: Victoria Falls. "This river seems to have disappeared from the earth. After only 80 feet, it disappeared into the opposite rock. Except for a cloud of white clouds, I couldnt see anything. Like thousands of small meteors, all in one direction, leaving a droplet after each meteor. If you see such a waterfall, I think, angels will stop there." In 1855, The Scottish explorer Livingston discovered the scene of this continent, and when I came to the waterfall, I felt so deeply. All the natural forces that make people tremble, they only see their sounds. When they reach the waterfall, the sound of the water rang through the sky, and the mist of the waterfall is lost in the valley. In the looming, several rainbows leaped into the eye. Everyone is wet, but it is this immersive realism that deeply feels the unparalleled shock of nature.

Belle fell in love with Victoria Falls

#ZimbabweView #victoriafalls Captured with a rainbow. Fell in love with this place because of its beauty and mesmerizing view. First time to visit this country but it’s already one of my favorites. It was all worth the journey to see such an amazing scenery, a rainbow is a promise and it added beauty to the falls.

#100WaysOfTravel #ZimbabweView One of a kind sunset view in Victoria falls. It just amazes your eyes as the sun slowly kisses the day goodbye and promise another day to be wonderful. You will just stop for awhile and admire the view while reflecting what an amazing day I had today. It’s an indication that tomorrow you face another challenging day yet fulfilling.

Most magnificent

#waterfalls This natural wonder of the world is worth travelling across the world for. And actually when coupled with your African trip, it becomes a bucket list tick. I used to thing Niagara was massive and then when I saw the victoria falls...it was something else. This was part of our day tour and we got picked up at our hotel. We parked up in the car park opposite the entrance to the National Park. There were lots of shops and stuff to buy. We started walking towards the first viewing point. At about Seventy meters high, this already huge seeming waterfall, i was told was actually the shortest of the falls. Nevertheless, it is one of the most impressive. The view is side on and the water thunders past. It is the closest you can get to water on the Zimbabwean side. Moving on, we stopped by a fantastic photo spot. The path, i must add is uneven and deep so be careful if it is wet. We made our way down and just stood gazing at the water, plummeting from above and pummelling the side of Cataract Island. Walking further, you will start hearing the pounding waterfalls. However you cannot see the falls until you reach the corner and there, in front of you is a magnificent wall of water. Even in the dry season, so massive and overwhelming. Clearly, Victoria Falls is way taller than what we saw at the Niagara Falls and our guide told us that when its full, it is the largest waterfall in the world. The curtain of white water is so gorgeous. It truely must be a sight to imagine in the wet season. This natural wonder cannot be missed!#waterfalls #africa #naturalwonder #100waysoftravel

Victoria Falls, the highlight of Africa

Located on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, Victoria Falls is the world's greatest sheet of falling water, with a width of 1708m and an average height of 100m. The powerful falling water generates a huge spray which can be seen 30km away. The magnificent sight and sound of the falling water and the vast biodiversity in the region earn Victoria Falls its status as an UNESCO world heritage site and make Victoria Falls a highlight of the African continent. (Tip: Visit in the afternoon for better lighting, higher chance of seeing rainbow, and less crowd. Bring raincoat or umbrella and wear waterproof shoes with good grips as the spray from the falls feels like heavy rain and makes the road slippery.) #thingstodo #nature #waterfall #biodiversity #watersports

Travel checklist, experience the awe-inspiring thunder and mist.

🌈Victoria Falls, which means "the smoke that thunders" (Mosi-oa-Tunya) in the local Tonga language, is a white ribbon of water falling 108 meters from the Zambezi River, with a sound like thunder and mist like rain. The waterfall is located on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, surrounded by strange mountains and waters: the basalt canyon twists and turns, with wild date palms and ivory palms growing on both sides of the riverbank, mahogany trees growing in clusters, and vines covering the small islands, like Medusa's hair. 🌟Travelers come straight to the waterfall, but besides that, you can also observe wild giants such as African elephants, baboons, rhinos, and hippos. You can also seek excitement by trying helicopter rides, bungee jumping, and rafting in the rapids below the waterfall. Brave (or reckless) people like to jump into the "Devil's Swimming Pool", where there is a natural rock wall at the bottom of the pool that can serve as an underwater barrier separating swimmers from the abyss. 🔥The Victoria Falls Bridge, which has a history of over 100 years, spans the second gorge of the waterfall, connecting Zambia and Zimbabwe, and is incredibly spectacular. Today, tourists can admire the waterfall from above or below the bridge. SEE IT! You can approach the waterfall from both sides. Livingstone in Zambia is a popular base camp, and there are also beautiful views on the Zimbabwean side.
