You can hear it before you see it. There’s a roar from behind the trees, the growl of water tempting you forward. 

Mist swirls above the trees. There’s a scent of fresh rain in the forest. And now the trees open up – Victoria Falls stretches before you, water gushing down more than a mile of vertical rock face.

Visit Victoria Falls on a day trip from your Livingstone base. First you’ll see the Zambian side of the walls. Then walk across Knife-Edge Bridge to a tiny island in the river, where the mist surrounds you. Then exit Zambia and visit the Zimbabwean side of the falls. 

Throughout the day there are drinks, hikes, baboons, and a picnic lunch alongside the world’s greatest waterfall.
