Itinerary
On the Zimbabwean side, guests enjoy the most panoramic and extensive views of Victoria Falls, as about 75% of the falls can be seen from this side. The tour takes you along a network of rainforest paths with multiple viewpoints, each offering a different perspective of the falls. Highlights include: Devil’s Cataract – the westernmost point of the falls, where the water rushes dramatically into a deep chasm. Main Falls Viewpoint – the largest curtain of falling water, creating thunderous sounds and constant mist. Rainbow Falls – the highest drop of Victoria Falls, often forming vibrant rainbows in the spray. Eastern Cataract – stunning views of the gorge and the Zambezi River downstream. Rainforest Walk – a unique ecosystem sustained by the constant spray, home to exotic trees, colorful birds, and playful monkeys. Wildlife Encounters – baboons and vervet monkeys are commonly seen along the trails, along with bird species like hornbills and sunbirds.
Victoria Falls Bridge The historic Victoria Falls Bridge is one of the highlights near the falls. Built in 1905, it was part of Cecil Rhodes’ ambitious plan to connect Cape Town to Cairo by rail. The bridge stretches 156 meters across the Batoka Gorge, linking Zambia and Zimbabwe, and sits just downstream from the mighty falls. From the bridge, guests can enjoy: Breathtaking Views – panoramic sights of the Zambezi River, the gorge, and spray rising from Victoria Falls. Engineering History – a chance to learn how the bridge was constructed over 100 years ago with no modern machinery. Adventure Activities (optional, extra cost): bungee jumping, bridge swing, and zipline. Photo Opportunities – one of the best spots for dramatic photos with the falls’ mist in the background. The Victoria Falls Bridge is not just a crossing point between Zambia and Zimbabwe, but a landmark rich in history, adventure, and unforgettable scenery.
The Zambian side of Victoria Falls offers a closer and more intimate experience of the natural wonder. While it showcases about 25% of the falls, it provides thrilling viewpoints where guests can truly feel the power of the Zambezi River. Highlights include: Knife-Edge Bridge – one of the most dramatic viewpoints, where you may walk through mist and rainbows with the falls thundering just meters away. Boiling Pot – a viewpoint at the bottom of the gorge, where the Zambezi River swirls into a massive whirlpool. Main Falls View – a front-row seat to one of the most powerful sections of the waterfall. Seasonal Experiences – during high water (Feb–May), expect dramatic spray and roaring water; in low water (Sept–Dec), you can see the underlying rock formations and sometimes walk across parts of the river. Livingstone Island (optional, extra cost) – Flora & Fauna – unique rainforest vegetation fed by the spray, plus sightings of vervet monkeys, baboons, and colorful birds.

This was an excellent way to experience the Falls from both sides. The spiel is true - if you book this, your guide is just for your party. There were two of us and Isaac zipped us through border control, explained the history, geology and what’s next for the Falls, and gave fabulous insight into the animals and birds we encountered. I’d recommend bringing/hiring a LONG raincoat if you don’t enjoy a good drenching.

Amazing experience visiting Victoria Falls. 10 minute drive from our hotel to Victoria Falls. We first crossed the Victoria Falls Bridge into the border of Zimbabwe where we received our visa. After entering into Zimbabwe, we were able to view the breathtaking Zimbabwe side of the Victoria Falls. Then I entered the Zambia side which was very exciting as I had crossed the Knife Edge Bridge. Our driver and tour guide were amazing and very helpful and assisted us through the falls safely.
