Victoria Falls Zimbabwe Side


When you have completed your tour of Victoria  Falls, by being on the  Zimbabwe side, you are in the position to continue on with a Safari in Zimbabwe.

 Information about  a  Zimbabwe Safari.

  A Safari in Zimbabwe can include  Hwange National Park  or if you prefer a  more  active Safari experience, Ruckomechi Camp that gives you the option of  including wildlife-viewing drives in 4x4 vehicles, boats, and canoes.

We will custom design your tour of the Victoria  Fall area, for  a  1 or 2N stay as is needed.

Victoria Falls facts


· The Falls are 1690m wide

· the highest point it is 103m high (the average height is 92 meters)

. Devils cataract in the Zimbabwe corner is the lowest point and hence has most water cascading over it.

· At the lowest water level (Nov/Dec), there are less than 20 000 cubic meters of water per minute flowing over the Falls

· At peak flood (Feb/April), over 550 000 cubic metres of water per minute pass over the Falls

· The spray can reach 1km high and can be seen over 30km away

· Small islands stand on the lip of the Falls, including Livingstone Island, where David Livingstone first viewed the falls

« All segments except the Estern Cataract are on the Zimbabwe side

« The Rainforest is sustained by the spray from Victoria Falls, with plant species that are rarely found elsewhere in Zimbabwe or Zambia.

High Water

 Feb to April. In full flood years the falls cannot be seen on foot on the Zimbabwe side with clouds of spray rising high into the sky and drenching all tourists. The aerial view at this time however is spectacular.

The Zambian side of the falls with less water is better at this stage and there are walkways to look out points and across the swaying Knife Edge bridge.

The intense spray provides welcome relief from the heat, but don’t carry anything you don’t want to get wet!

« A walk in the Rainforest or "highway to heaven" keeps you at eye level with sheets of cascading water, being soaked by the misty breath and deafened by its thunderous roar

Mid Water

¤ April and May. The falls are at their most spectacular on foot but often the spray is so thick it is difficult to see the full width of the falls.

the weather is magic.

¤ From May onwards as the annual flood abates, the view of Victoria falls gets better and better and photographic opportunities from the Rain Forest path in Zimbabwe improve and most of the falls can be seen from this side.

The weather is still fantastic.

* Viewing Victoria falls from below by foot or by Jet boat is possible

Low Water

¤ Around November and December . It is just as interesting to come when the water is low. Visitors are able to fully appreciate the geological formation of the falls and the full length and breadth of them.

Low water season’s gifts are:
* one can walk along the lip of Victoria Falls on the Zambian side and swim/picnic At this time most the water falls at " Devils Cataract" on the Zimbabwe side
