The Best Places to Visit Around Victoria Falls
Zimbabwe – Victoria Falls
The Zimbabwe side offers some of the most famous viewpoints of the waterfall, with a network of walking paths through the rainforest providing different views of the Falls. The town of Victoria Falls is also a popular base for hotels, restaurants, river cruises and safari excursions.
It is an excellent starting point for exploring the surrounding wildlife areas and enjoying the many activities available in the region.
Zambia – Livingstone
On the Zambian side of the Falls, the town of Livingstone offers another perspective of this incredible natural attraction. Visitors can explore the viewpoints, enjoy river activities and discover the area's history and culture.
During periods of lower water levels, seasonal activities may be available closer to the edge of the Falls. Availability depends on water conditions and local safety restrictions.
Chobe National Park – Botswana
One of the highlights of many Victoria Falls holidays is a visit to Chobe National Park in neighbouring Botswana. Famous for its enormous elephant population, Chobe is a wonderful destination for wildlife viewing.
