The Victoria Falls, also known under the name of Mosi-oa-Tunya (the Smoke that Thunders) is a waterfall located in southern Africa on the Zambezi River between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls are some of the largest in the world and is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
Best & worse times to visit
Generally, it's best to avoid the peaks of the rainy season and dry season. The weather is typically ideal at all other times.
Which side is best?
For the best rim-level view, visit the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls. For the best base-level view, walk down the rain-forest footpath on the Zambia side. For the best overall view, book passage on one of the Zambian or Zimbabwean flight-seeing tours - only then will you appreciate the size of this wonder.
