The Victoria Falls is among the greatest natural wonders is inarguably nature\u2019s jewel with a mile-long spectacular curtain of falling water. David Livingstone, an explorer when first saw it, said: “scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight”.<\/p>\n
Flowing between Zimbabwe and Zambia, The Victoria Falls are a part of two different national parks, Victoria Falls National Park – Zimbabwe and Mosi-oa-Tunya National-Park Zambia. The Victoria Falls looks at its most beautiful when large amounts of flowing water result in a tremendous amount of water spray shooting itself about 1,000 feet high into the sky and can easily be observed from 30 miles away. The name of the falls \u201cMosi-oa-Tunya\u201d is itself derived from the African words meaning \u201cSmoke that thunders\u201d. Such breathtaking beauty is not something to be missed and the first step involved in getting there is to plan and book an affordable cheap flight to Zambia<\/a><\/strong> or Zimbabwe depending upon an individual\u2019s preferences.<\/p>\n In the past, Zimbabwe was considered a more popular country to visit the site from, with plenty of luxurious hotels and better infrastructure. One can walk to the Victoria Falls from town along the well-marked paths. The view from this side is certainly the best one as one can stand opposite the Victoria Falls and enjoy it head on.<\/p>\n Visit of The Victoria Falls from Zambia has its own advantages as tickets to enter the park and accommodation are comparatively cheaper. Moreover, you can have an above-view of the Victoria Falls, from below as well as the surrounding forested areas. You even can swim in the natural pool right before upper fall\u2019s edge. Apart from that, Livingstone in Zambia is an interesting place to travel which was formerly the capital of Northern Rhodesia (presently Zambia) and is still lined-up with the colonial buildings of the Victorian-era.<\/p>\n Although you have the option to visit the Victoria falls from any side but it\u2019s highly recommended to visit it from both the sides (Zimbabwe and Zambia) as the border post can be crossed very easily and day-passes can also be obtained easily so there is no need to obtain a separate visa in advance, however, advance checking-in is recommended. The border posts remain open from 8 AM till 6 PM daily with many hotels on both sides offering day-pass packages as well as night-stay.<\/p>\n It\u2019s recommended to visit the Victoria Falls from Zambia during the dry season in fall (September \u2013 December) as the view during this time is spectacular despite less flowing water. You can have some best views of the Site from Livingstone, a small island owned by Tongabezi. Swimming in the \u201cDevil\u2019s Pool\u201d is an adventure you\u2019ll like to have and can be only done in the dry season.<\/p>\n There are many other things to do aside from viewing the spectacular beauty of The Victoria Falls including Bungee-Jumping off the fall\u2019s Bridge, Jet Boating allows you to experience it from below and white-water-rafting down the Zambezi River\u2019s rapids. There also exists a surprising variety of wildlife which you can observe around the vicinity of the Victoria Falls including Baboons, Warthogs, White Rhinos, Buffaloes, Elephants and Giraffe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Victoria Falls is among the greatest natural wonders is inarguably nature\u2019s jewel with a mile-long spectacular curtain of falling water.
