Victoria Falls is one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world - hence its almost universal appeal to travelers. The mighty Zambezi flows broad and placid to the brink of a 1700m wide basalt lip before taking a headlong 100 metre plunge into the thunderous, frothy chasm of the gorge below. This is the worlds largest sheet of falling water.
Victoria Falls is an excellent destination to combine with visiting Chobe National Park which can be done either on a one day visit or for a few days. A first class safari is to spend a few days in Hwange National Park followed by a few days at Victoria Falls. If you are a horse rider, there are excellent horse riding safaris available in Hwange, the Okavango Delta and the Kafue National Park in Zambia, all within easy access from Victoria Falls.
