Waterfall

Victoria Falls

The Zambezi plunges into a narrow gorge beside rainforest paths, where spray and rainbows fill the view.

Zimbabwe’s rainforest path faces the falls across the gorge; viewpoint 8 gives a direct view of Main Falls and afternoon rainbows. Protect electronics from heavy spray and keep well back from slippery cliff edges. Zambia has a separate entrance fee, and crossing between countries requires appropriate border documents. Devil’s Pool is accessible only on a Livingstone Island tour when water levels allow.
