OverviewYour Victoria Falls walking tour offers morning or afternoon Departure time, starting from your centrally located Victoria Falls Hotel. Head to the waterfalls and stop on the banks of the roaring Zambezi River, where you can snap a photo of an ancient baobab tree said to be over 1,000 years old. Your minibus will then transport you to the lush rainforest surrounding Victoria Falls, where you'll navigate scenic trails with the help of a Guide. Known locally as Moses-Oya-Tunya (thunder smoke), the mist of this natural wonder can be seen from nearly 20 miles (32 kilometers) away. A closer look at the rocky gorge that serves as a steep channel for the Zambezi River. You'll see the Livingstone Statue and Devil's Falls, the lowest point of the falls. Your Guide will share the story and history of David Livingstone, the intrepid explorer who discovered these falls in 1855 and named them after Queen Victoria. Your driver will take you back to Hotel at the end of the waterfall hike.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/0356n12000dekxey37B39_Z_1000_0.jpg?proc=resize/m_z,w_1000;crop/m_c,w_1000,h_1000,x_0,y_0,DD72">Detailed introductionThere’s nothing better than the heart-pounding feeling of standing on the edge of these majestic waterfalls, being drenched by the never-ending waves… But no matter how you decide to visit Thunderous Smoke, few are truly prepared for the Standard Price beauty and mesmerizing power of the mighty Victoria Falls. The overwhelming feeling of actually standing on the edge of a cliff over the turbulent waters of the Zambezi River is unforgettable. Fierce jets of water shoot more than 60 feet into the air before tumbling down, creating a solid 24-hour rainfall... The falls are actually at the end of Main Street through the city center. Of course, the ever-present "smoke" (rising spray) will quickly let you know where it is. It's a very walking distance from the city center and closer Hotel- keep in mind that in the middle of the summer it can get very, very hot. You'll find you can rent raincoats and waterfall maps from vendors in the parking lot. If you don't have a good waterproof cover for your camera or you really don't want to get a soaked raincoat a trip to Victoria Falls is a great idea. But I personally love the feeling of being drenched by the natural rain from the Zambezi River. Entrance is through the Victoria Falls National Park entrance gate - where you pay an entrance fee of $50 Standard Price. So remember to keep it in a waterproof bag for the rest of the trip as you really don’t want it to get wet. The edge of the waterfall is a channel of humid tropical rainforest. The forest is always shrouded in fine spray, and it is a wonderland of exotic plants that thrive in the humidity.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/0356912000dekybtq2195_Z_1000_0.jpg?proc=resize/m_z,w_1000;crop/m_c,w_1000,h_1000,x_0,y_0,DD72">Early morning is a magical time to see the falls, as the sun rises and colors the spray pink and gold. At the western end of the divide there is a statue of David Livingstone You can follow designated paths and follow the edges to reach 16 different viewpoints. Danger Point is the end of the trail where you can see into Zambia - sometimes depending on the Time of year you may be lucky enough to see a rafting trip starting deep in the canyon. There is a path to the right from the danger point that takes you to the bridge. This is a great place to see the structure of the Victoria Falls Bridge and also see some Bungee jumpers from the platform in the middle of the bridge.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/0354q12000dekvss2D788_Z_1000_0.jpg?proc=resize/m_z,w_1000;crop/m_c,w_1000,h_1000,x_0,y_0,DD72"> Travel safelyWhile it's safe to be in a national park, your danger may be your own lack of good judgment. Zimbabwe National Parks has chosen not to spoil your view of the falls, putting up short fences along the edge. At most lookout points, only a few piles of tree branches prevent you from getting over and approaching the sheer cliffs. Don't cross these fences! If you do, you'll find yourself on slippery rocks or grass that often slope toward cliffs. Don't try to get over these fences to get a good photo of the falls.
