Victoria Falls Hotels & Resorts in Zambia & Zimbabwe
Victoria Falls is one of the wonders of the natural world. It is called “Mosi-oa-Tunya”, meaning, in the local language, “the smoke that thunders”, which describes the spray and the roar as the Zambezi River drops 300 feet into the narrow gorge below. The Falls have fascinated travellers since David Livingstone was the first European explorer to see the Falls in 1855. A visit to the Falls is a definate MUST if doing a safari in nearby Botswana, Zambia or in Zimbabwe. We will arrange all necessary transfers, accommodations and activities for you.
