The centerpiece of any Victoria Falls tour is, of course, the falls themselves. Spanning over 1.7 kilometers wide and plunging 108 meters into the Zambezi Gorge, Victoria Falls is one of the largest waterfalls in the world. The thundering roar of the water and the towering mist that rises from the gorge create an otherworldly atmosphere. Visitors can experience the falls from various viewpoints along well-maintained trails in the Victoria Falls National Park on the Zimbabwean side or Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park on the Zambian side. Each vantage point offers a unique perspective, from close-up views of the cascading water to panoramic vistas that capture the full scale of this natural wonder.

Named after the famous explorer David Livingstone, who was the first European to set eyes on Victoria Falls in 1855, Livingstone Island is a small landmass perched on the edge of the falls. Accessible only during the dry season (typically from August to January), this island offers unparalleled views of the falls and an intimate connection with its raw power.

Guided tours to Livingstone Island often include a thrilling swim in Devil's Pool, a natural rock pool located at the very edge of the waterfall. Adventurous visitors can take a dip while marveling at the cascading water just inches away—a truly exhilarating experience that’s not for the faint-hearted.

Built in 1905 as part of Cecil Rhodes' ambitious Cape-to-Cairo railway project, the Victoria Falls Bridge is an engineering marvel that spans the Zambezi River just downstream from the falls. This historic bridge connects Zimbabwe and Zambia and offers spectacular views of both the waterfall and the gorge below.

For thrill-seekers, the bridge is also home to some adrenaline-fueled activities such as bungee jumping, bridge swinging, and zip-lining. Even if you’re not up for these heart-pounding adventures, simply walking across the bridge is an unforgettable experience that provides a unique perspective of Victoria Falls.

Devil's Pool is one of the most famous natural attractions at Victoria Falls.
